The Pu'u O'o eruptive series , for example, has been erupting basaltic lava on the Kilauea shield volcano since These eruptions began on January 3 with a six-kilometer-long curtain of fire on the east rift system of Kilauea. Intermittent fissure eruptions soon gave way to a centralized eruption site on the east rift, about 15 km east of the Kilauea summit caldera, which generated a scoria-and-spatter cone, called the Pu'u O'o volcano. In the Kupaianaha volcano developed about 3 kilometers farther down rift.
It erupted smoothed-surface pahoehoe lava until early Since that time the main eruption site has been centered at Pu'u O'o. Kilauea Kilauea in 3D The Kilauea summit caldera and east rift system are evident on the above map-view and 3D images. The blue-to-purple regions descending down the southeastern slope of Kilauea far right are lava flows generated during the Pu'u O'o eruptive series, through early Central-vent Hawaiian eruptions are noted for their spectacular jet-like sprays of liquid lava called fire fountains.
These incandescent jets ascend hundreds of meters into the air. They can occur in short spurts, or last for hours on end.
One of the most spectacular fire fountaining events ever recorded on Kilauea produced a lava spray m high at the Kilauea Iki vent in However, this is dwarfed by the m fire fountain generated by an Hawaiian eruption on the Japanese Island of Oshima in Naughton and others Dalrymple and Clague 4.
