Lava in Hawaii, seismic shaking in Alaska and underwater rumblings near Oregon. Scientists say it’s not the end of the world, but it’s definitely worth watching.

Park officials say this is the time of year when nene began to gather there to establish bonds ahead of nesting season.

The latest eruption from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano shot lava 1,200 feet high into the sky and went on for 9 hours. But it was something else, happening in the distance, that’s getting a lot of the attention.

Another explosive episode of Kilauea’s volcanic activity came and went Wednesday after Episode 28 of the ongoing eruption in Halemaumau Crater saw eight hours of high fountaining.

Volcanoes are rumbling as scientists monitor earthquakes at Washington's Mount Rainier and Alaska's Iliamna volcano.

KILAUEA (HawaiiNewsNow) - Episode 28 of the of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption began at around 4:10 a.m. HST on Wednesday, July 9. Lava fountains are actively spewing upward of 150 feet into the air. Past episodes have produced lava fountains reaching 1,000 feet in the air.

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.
