Lava flow decreases at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano in the northern Pacific has seen a decrease in lava flow following ongoing eruptions that have caused continuous destruction in the area. This marks the 43rd eruption since February 2024, with fragments thrown up to 400 meters into the air on its 43rd day of activity. National parks and main roads nearby have been temporarily closed due to the hazards.

Addis Ababa, Megabit 2, 2018 (Fana MC) – Kilauea volcano in Hawaii, one of the world's major volcanoes, has experienced a decrease in lava flow due to the destruction caused on its 43rd day of eruption. This is the 43rd eruption since February 2024, following last month's event that produced lava flows.

On this day, volcanic fragments reached heights of up to 400 meters in the air. The eruption has led to high volumes of molten and solid lava (lava) falling to the ground, resulting in the temporary closure of nearby national parks and main roads.

Over the years, eruptions at various times have drawn the attention of the local population and tourists. CBS News reports that the eruption has ejected large amounts of ash, gas, and fire.

Ash from the Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia has reached India, prompting flight cancellations and raising concerns over air quality in northern regions. Airlines like Akasa Air have halted Gulf routes due to unsafe conditions, while the IMD forecasts the cloud clearing by evening. Delhi's AQI remains very poor at 435, though experts predict minimal additional impact from the ash.

State volcanologists recorded 256 rockfalls at Mayon Volcano amid ongoing lava flows, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said. The volcano has been at Alert Level 3 since January 6. It also generated 41 pyroclastic density currents and elevated sulfur dioxide emissions.

Researchers have found that the magma reservoir beneath Japan's Kikai caldera, site of the Holocene's largest eruption 7,300 years ago, is refilling with newly injected magma. Using underwater seismic imaging, a team led by Kobe University's Nobukazu Seama mapped the reservoir and linked it to the ancient event. The discovery offers insights into how such systems rebuild after massive eruptions.

Mount Semeru on the border of Lumajang and Malang, East Java, erupted on Thursday night, January 1, 2026, with an eruption column reaching 900 meters above the peak. This marks the fourth eruption of the day, following three in the morning. The Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) maintains alert status and issues safety recommendations for nearby residents.

Researchers have identified vast deposits of lava rubble beneath the South Atlantic Ocean that trap significant amounts of carbon dioxide over tens of millions of years. These breccia formations, formed from eroded underwater mountains, store far more CO2 than typical ocean crust samples. The discovery highlights a previously unrecognized mechanism in Earth's long-term carbon cycle.
