Video: 'Lavanado' is formed during the recent outbreak of Hawaii Kilauea Vulcano

Hawaii Vulcanoes National Park – – A breathtaking video, which was recorded in a recently hereditary episode of the Kilauea volcano from Hawaii, shows the moment that hot gases and lava swirls into the air and form what is referred to as “lavanado”.

On February 26, Scott Malis was caught by the dramatic display on video on February 26th during the 11th Eruptive Episode of Kilauea's lasting outbreak, which began in December.

Malis said that the lavanado, who looks similar to a dust devil, took about four minutes in the early morning before the episode ended.

During this episode, Lava was shot almost 600 feet up into the air during the outbreak in Hawaii Vulcanoes National Park.

Kilauea does not disappoint when it comes to breathtaking displays in eruptions

This is not the first time that an event like this was caught on video.

In 2023, a video published by the USGS (USGS) showed the USGS areas in the volcano, in which hot, rapidly rising air grabbed fresh lava and threw it in the air before it moved up the side of the mountain and absorb dirt and stones.

The latest eruptive episode, which ended on Wednesday, the 12th, is part of the active outbreak period, which began on December 23, 2024.

The USGS said that every LAVA fountain episode took about 13 hours and was separated between the episodes by breaks in activity by a day to 12 days.
