HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK (HawaiiNewsNow) - Fountaining from the latest episode of the ongoing eruption at the summit of Kilauea volcano ended shortly before 8 p.m. Sunday, but not before another spectacular show with lava shooting more than a thousand feet into the sky.

Essentially, gas pistoning is a shallow, degassing-driven rise and fall of a lava surface. Often these pistons occur in narrow conduits — although they can happen in larger lava lakes and even in lava channels — and in bunches, as part of a series.

Indonesia’s Geology Agency recorded an avalanche of searing gas clouds mixed with rocks and lava traveling up to 3 miles down the slopes of the 5,197-foot mountain. Observations from drones showed lava filling the crater, indicating deep movement of magma that set off earthquakes.
