(BIVN) – Dual lava fountains returned to the summit of Kilauea on Friday night, as Episode 35 in the ongoing eruption began just after 8 p.m.

The USGS Volcano Alert Level for Kīlauea remains at WATCH and the Aviation Color Code is at ORANGE.

By 9:30 p.m., fountains erupting from the south vent topped 1,300 feet (400 meters), while the fountain from the north vent reached about 1,100 feet (330 meters).

Scientists with the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said it was a record fountain height for two fountains during the eruption, which began in December 2024.
