December 2021 - March 2022: Eruption pauses 24 times, over time periods ranging from approximately two hours to nearly two days.

November 16, 2021: Lava begins to flow onto the lowest exposed down-dropped block of caldera floor that collapsed in 2018, northeast of Halemaʻumaʻu.

October 7, 2021: Activity becomes focused at single vent on the western wall of Halemaʻumaʻu.

October 6, 2021: Eastern portion of lava lake begins to stagnate and form a crust.

October 4, 2021: Activity becomes focused at two vents: one in the western wall of Halemaʻumaʻu and one in the south central portion of the lava lake.

HST: Eruption begins as a series of fissure vents to the east of the large island that formed in the December 2020-May 2021 lava lake. This activity is ongoing, and Kīlauea daily updates are posted here. a series of vents opened in the floor and walls of Halemaʻumaʻu crater, generating a lava lake. However, no eruption occurred, and the shallow Halemaʻumaʻu magma reservoir continued to measure inflation. On September 29, 2021, earthquake activity increased abruptly beneath Halemaʻumaʻu around 2 p.m. In August 2021, increased earthquake activity and patterns of ground deformation indicated that an intrusion was occurring and magma was moving into an area south of Kīlauea caldera.

This is an exciting time on Kīlauea Volcano because lava has returned to the summit following the 2018 summit collapse. After the December 2020-May 2021 Halemaʻumaʻu eruption ended, Kīlauea summit region continued to slowly inflate.
