Episode 15 of the ongoing Kilauea eruption series in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park started fountaining mid-morning, 26 March 2025, and I was out the door in a flash. Both vents were going strong when I reached a viewing point -- one tall and lean and shaking off tephra in the wind -- the other short and fat and puffing a messy plume while its lava overflowed the vent. It was like watching two different eruptions in the same place! As I was leaving I got a whim to stop at the Kilauea Iki Overlook to see how the fountains looked from there -- unbelievable! The fountains were so high! I know I say this every time, but this was the best ever!! The episodes just keep on getting better ๐ฎ
