00:00Hawaii's Kilauea just woke up again, and this time it's firing lava 330 feet into the sky.
00:06The eruption began just after midnight, as lava burst from the north vent in Halemaumau crater.
00:12By sunrise, fountains of molten rock were shooting skyward from three different vents.
00:17This marks the 32nd eruption since December 2024, and it's all happening inside the same summit crater.
00:24Beneath the crater, magma is being pumped up at nearly 4 cubic meters per second.
00:29It travels through tight, pipe-like vents, building pressure until it explodes like a shaken bottle of champagne.
00:36That's why these lava fountains can shoot hundreds of feet in the air, and sometimes over 1,000.
00:41This kind of eruptive pattern has only happened three other times in 200 years.
00:46And last time, it lasted over three decades.
00:49No one knows how this one will end.
00:51It could keep going for years, or stop tomorrow.
00:54For now, the lava show continues.
00:57Spectacular, fiery, and unpredictable.
01:00Kilauea is alive, and if history's any clue, it's just getting started.
01:04Let's aim for that.
01:17Start moving.
01:19Let's aim for that.
