Streams of molten lava flowed from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano overnight Saturday into Sunday, ahead of another eruption expected to take shape in the coming days, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Located in Volcanoes National Park, a massive protected area on the Big Island of Hawaii, Kilauea is among the world’s most active volcanoes. It has…
Some Pacific Northwesterners woke Tuesday to an unusual sight: A smoky haze shrouded Mount St. Helens, the large, active stratovolcano in Washington state that erupted catastrophically in 1980. But a new eruption was not to blame for the foggy scene this week, scientists said. Instead, ash from the blast that occurred 45 years ago had…
Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano erupted again this week, spewing lava 500 feet into the air from the crater at its summit, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The eruption ended around 8 p.m. local time on Tuesday night, after producing approximately 337 million cubic feet of molten rock over a 13-hour period. This marked the 32nd episode in an ongoing…
Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano resumed erupting Friday by shooting an arc of lava 100 feet into the air and across a section of its summit crater floor. It was Kilauea’s 31st display of molten rock since December, an appropriately high frequency for one of the world’s most active volcanoes. The north vent at the summit crater…

Mount Rainier was experiencing “the most significant seismic activity” at the volcano in more than 15 years as an “earthquake swarm” hit the site starting on Tuesday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey’s Cascades Volcano Observatory. The swarm — hundreds of small earthquakes hitting the same area in quick succession — started around 1:30 a.m….
