Lava fountaining for episode 48 of the ongoing Halemaumau eruption at Kilauea\u2019s summit began at 4:40 a.m. Monday with activity focused at the north vent.<\/p>\n

Around 5:50 a.m., the north vent fountains were 500-650 feet (150-200 m), feeding the plume cloud to over 20,000 feet. <\/p>\n

The United States Geological Survey said ground-level sensors near the eruptive vents indicate that winds are blowing very lightly from the northeast direction. <\/p>\n
