The eruption in Halema‘uma‘u crater continues. The eruption, which is occurring inside the Kīlauea summit caldera within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, began the morning of June 7, 2023.
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists collect detailed data to assess hazards and understand how the eruption is evolving at Kīlauea's summit, all of which are shared with the National Park Service and emergency managers. Access to this hazardous area is by permission from, and in coordination with, Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. The eruption is occurring within Halemaʻumaʻu, a location that is significant to Native Hawaiian communities because it is the home of the deity Pele.
