Kīlauea Volcano is quiet… for now. But don’t be fooled — scientists say the next eruption episode could begin between September 28 and October 1. During a helicopter overflight, USGS teams collected fresh lava samples from the summit to analyze what’s happening beneath the surface. With glowing vents, rising magma, and ground inflation, Episode 34 of the ongoing eruption could be just days away. Here's what scientists are seeing — and what it could mean for Hawaii’s most active volcano :volcano:

00:00Kilauea's eruption has paused, but it's just the calm before another fiery storm.
00:05Hawaiian scientists just flew over the summit of Kilauea Volcano,
00:09and what they found could reveal what's coming next.
00:12The eruption may be on pause for now, but deep underground, the pressure is building.
00:17Field crews collected lava from a recent flow during Episode 33.
00:21This hardened, a'a lava will now be studied in labs to track changes in volcanic chemistry.
00:26That data could unlock clues about what's fueling this powerful eruption series.
00:30Overnight, a glow was seen from the south vent, a sign that magma is still active below.
00:36And here's the big news. The ground at the summit is re-inflating.
00:40That means magma is pushing upward again.
00:42And scientists say Episode 34 could begin any moment between September 28th and October 1st.
00:49Meanwhile, a magnitude 3.6 quake hit south of the volcano.
00:53But so far, no activity has been seen in the east or southwest rift zones.
00:58The volcano alert level remains at watch, and eyes are now locked on the summit,
01:03because the next lava show might be just days away.
01:05Kilauea may be quiet now, but its silence is anything but peaceful.
