Pu‘u‘ō‘ō Eruption of Kīlauea Volcano
Yvonne Dalschen
The Pu‘u‘ō‘ō eruption began in 1983, and ranks as the longest and most voluminous known outpouring of lava from Kīlauea Volcano's East Rift Zone in more than 500 years. Lava fountains and flows have profoundly altered the landscape and repeatedly challenged residents with lava inundation. On April 30, 2018, Pu‘u‘ō‘ō's crater floor and lava lake catastrophically collapsed, and the eruption ended. - U.S. Geological Survey
