'Newsweek' reports that the alert level for the area around Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has been elevated following an increase in volcanic activity.

While the volcano is not erupting, an increase in earthquake activity and ground deformation near the surface has been observed since June 2.

According to an update released by the U.S. Geological Survey, the activity suggests that magma is moving close to the surface.

Rates of seismicity and deformation increased further after 5:00 p.m.

At this time, it is not possible to say with certainty if this activity will lead to an eruption—the activity may remain below ground.

However, an eruption in KÄ«lauea's summit region within Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park is one potential outcome, U.S. Geological Survey update, via 'Newsweek'.

Accordingly, the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) is raising the Volcano Alert Level for ground-based hazards from ADVISORY to WATCH and the Aviation Color Code from YELLOW to ORANGE, U.S. Geological Survey update, via 'Newsweek'.

HVO continues to closely monitor KÄ«lauea for signs of increasing activity.

Should volcanic activity change significantly, a new Volcanic Activity Notice will be issued, U.S. Geological Survey update, via 'Newsweek'.

The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Service said it would close the nearby Devastation Trail parking lot and Keanakakoi area until further notice due to the alert.

Kilauea 30th Eruption: Volcano Produces 1000-Foot Lava Fountain | Tourists, Locals On High Alert [Video]

Kilauea 30th Eruption: Volcano Produces 1000-Foot Lava Fountain | Tourists, Locals On High Alert

Hawaii’s Kīlauea volcano erupted again early Wednesday morning, unleashing a spectacular 300-foot lava fountain in its 30th eruption in under a year. The U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) confirmed that “vigorous fountaining” erupted from the Halemaʻumaʻu crater around 1:20 a.m. local time. Lava spewed from the north vent, reaching between 150 and 300 feet, while USGS live cameras captured the molten display from multiple angles. An orange aviation alert has been issued due to the eruption, but nearby airports remain unaffected. Since December 23, 2024, Kīlauea’s eruptive cycle has continued with brief, dramatic episodes. The National Weather Service warned that volcanic gas and ash could drift south, potentially impacting nearby communities. Despite the awe-inspiring natural show, scientists caution that these eruptions can be unpredictable and potentially hazardous. Kīlauea remains one of Earth’s most active volcanoes-and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. #Kilauea #HawaiiVolcano #LavaFountain #VolcanoEruption #KilaueaEruption #USGS #HalemaumauCrater #HVO #HawaiiNews #VolcanoWatch #Kilauea2025 #NaturePower #GeologyNews #LavaLive #VolcanoAlert #EarthScience #ExtremeNature #HawaiiTravelAlert #LavaFlow #LiveEruption ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

BREAKING: Powerful 7.0 Earthquake Strikes Russia's Kuril Islands | Tsunami Panic Grips After Quake [Video]

BREAKING: Powerful 7.0 Earthquake Strikes Russia's Kuril Islands | Tsunami Panic Grips After Quake

A massive earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale struck Russia’s Kuril Islands on Sunday, sending tremors across the Pacific Rim but sparking no tsunami warnings. The quake, initially pegged at 6.35 magnitude by the German Research Center for Geosciences, was later upgraded by both the US Geological Survey and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. Fortunately, no tsunami alerts were issued, calming fears of a wider Pacific disaster. The quake's epicenter lay off Russia’s remote eastern coast, a region often rocked by seismic activity due to tectonic collisions along the Pacific Ring of Fire. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties, but authorities are closely monitoring the region for aftershocks. The Kuril Islands, located between Russia and Japan, have been a long-standing hotspot for both geological tension and geopolitical friction. Experts advise residents to stay alert and follow official updates in case of aftershocks. #RussiaEarthquake #KurilIslands #TsunamiAlert #RingOfFire #SeismicActivity #EarthquakeUpdate #BreakingNews #PacificQuake #GeologicalNews #NaturalDisaster #EarthquakeSafety #NoTsunamiThreat #RussianFarEast #QuakeToday #KurilQuake #Magnitude7 #USGS #DisasterPreparedness #JapanRussiaZone #SeismicZone
