Hawai'i's Kilauea volcano has begun its 52nd eruptive episode with lava fountaining. The eruption started within Halema'uma'u Crater, reaching heights of nearly 300 feet. Scientists observed increasing volcanic tremor and rapid summit deflation as magma was released. Lava flows have now covered about ten percent of the crater floor. This eruption continues the volcano's familiar cycle of intermittent summit activity.
