🔴 Live Now: Kīlauea Episode 47 Lava Fountaining Begins! | 3 Camera Angles

Kīlauea Volcano appears to be moving closer to the start of lava fountaining episode 47 at the summit eruption in Halemaʻumaʻu crater. Although the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has not yet officially declared the start of episode 47 lava fountaining, the north vent is showing increasing and sustained height in its lava activity. This livestream shows the developing eruption from three camera angles, giving viewers a live look at the vents as activity intensifies. According to the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory’s May 14, 2026, 7:00 AM HST update, precursory lava overflows began from the Halemaʻumaʻu south vent at 2:57 a.m. HST. By 7:00 a.m., six overflows had occurred, each lasting about 20–30 minutes. USGS also reported glow, flames, and occasional spattering at the north vent, with lava fountaining episode 47 forecast to begin sometime today, May 14. USGS states that the eruption remains at: Volcano Alert Level: WATCH Aviation Color Code: ORANGE Kīlauea has been erupting episodically since December 23, 2024, from the north and south vents in Halemaʻumaʻu crater. These lava fountaining episodes generally last less than 12 hours and are separated by pauses that can last days to more than three weeks. Current hazards may include volcanic gas, lava fountains, tephra fall, Pele’s hair, and rapidly changing summit conditions. USGS reports that moderate winds from the northeast may carry volcanic gas and light tephra southwest of the summit. This stream is for observation and educational purposes.
