00:00Kilauea Volcano is waking again.

00:02Eruption could restart in days.

00:04Here's what scientists are seeing now.

00:07The summit eruption at Kilauea is currently on pause.

00:10Experts expect Episode 35 of Lava Fountaining to begin between October 17 and 21.

00:15Seismic tremors show gas piston activity in both vents,

00:19though more irregular than in recent days.

00:21Last night, incandescence was visible at both the north and south vents.

00:26Also, tilt measurements indicate inflation.

00:28The magma chamber is repressurizing.

00:31Episode 34 lasted about six hours, with fountains reaching 1300 FT400.

00:36Now, the volcano is recharging.

00:39Geologists believe the south vent might play a key role in the next episode.

00:43The rift zones currently show low seismic activity and very low sulfur dioxide emissions.

00:49HVO continues round-the-clock monitoring and is coordinating with local agencies in Hawaii.

00:54Stay tuned.
