This is a list of volcanic eruptions from Kīlauea, an active shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands that is currently erupting. These eruptions have taken place from pit craters and the main caldera, as well as parasitic cones and fissures along the East and Southwest rift zones. They are generally fluid (VEI -0) Hawaiian eruptions, but more ...
Kīlauea's eruption from January 3, 1983, to 2018 was by far its longest-duration period of activity in modern times, as well as one of the longest-duration eruptions documented on Earth; as of January 2011, the eruption had produced 3.5 km 3 (1 cu mi) of lava and resurfaced 123.2 km 2 (48 sq mi) of land.
Kīlauea. Puʻu ʻŌʻō. The 2018 lower Puna eruption was a volcanic event on the island of Hawaiʻi, on Kīlauea volcano's East Rift Zone that began on May 3, 2018. It is related to the larger eruption of Kīlauea that began on January 3, 1983, though some volcanologists and USGS scientists have discussed whether to classify it as a new ...

HAWAII– The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii continues erupting Thursday, nearly a week after eruptive activity first began. Videos from the U.S. Geological Survey showed lava spewing from a fissure in ...
The eruption of Kīlauea in 1960 was a volcanic eruption that took place from January 13 to February 19, 1960, on Kīlauea, the most active volcano in Hawaii, USA. It followed the eruption of late 1959 in Kīlauea Iki, near the volcano's summit. Fissure vents opened up on the eastern tip of the island of Hawaii, just outside the town of Kapoho.
Kilauea Iki experienced a minor eruption in 1868, which covered the floor of the crater in a thin layer of basalt. [2] This eruption was preceded by the great Ka'ü earthquake of 1868, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake that caused extensive damage on the island and resulted in collapses of the wall in Kilauea's summit caldera, withdrawal of lava from the summit caldera, and the brief eruption in ...
