周二，夏威夷一座喷发火山的最新熔岩喷泉高度达到1000英尺，由于玻璃质火山碎屑（包括火山灰）坠落，国家公园和一条重要高速公路部分路段临时关闭。
基拉韦厄火山位于夏威夷大岛，一年多来一直以间歇性喷发吸引着居民和游客，喷发时熔岩喷泉不时直冲云霄。
周二上午开始的熔岩喷泉是2024年12月喷发以来的第43次喷发事件。一段直播显示了两道鲜红色熔岩喷泉和烟雾。目前尚不清楚这次熔岩喷泉将持续多久，有些喷发持续数天，有些则仅持续数小时。

2025年11月的一次喷发从火山内部喷出了近1100万立方码的熔岩——这些熔岩足够每5.5秒填满一个奥林匹克标准游泳池。
与以往一样，这次熔岩仍局限在夏威夷火山国家公园的火山口内，尚未威胁到房屋或建筑物。
但熔岩喷泉给周边社区和一条高速公路带来了麻烦，火山碎屑（即火山灰）在此处坠落。这些火山碎屑导致公园山顶周边临时关闭，并造成11号高速公路（该岛的重要环岛路线）部分路段封闭。
夏威夷县官员还在一个地区体育馆开设了临时庇护所，供受道路封闭或火山灰坠落影响的居民和游客使用。该县发言人汤姆·卡利斯表示，庇护所开放后不久尚无人员使用。
美国国家气象局发布了火山灰预警。
该局在附带的受影响区域地图旁写道：”夏威夷火山国家公园预计将有超过1/4英寸厚的火山灰堆积，影响范围延伸至东南和西南地区。”
县官员称，火山碎屑会刺激眼睛、皮肤和呼吸系统，还可能堵塞并损坏集水系统，而大岛部分地区常见此类系统。
卡利斯表示，在之前的一次熔岩喷泉事件中，火山灰大量坠落，一些社区需要县民防工作人员协助清理覆盖房屋的火山灰。
基拉韦厄是世界上最活跃的火山之一。
Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano eruptions shoot fountains of lava 1,000 feet in the air, triggering ash warnings

The latest lava fountaining episode of an erupting Hawaii volcano reached 1,000 feet high Tuesday, prompting temporary closures at a national park and part of an important highway because of falling glassy volcanic fragments, including ash.
Kilauea, on Hawaii’s Big Island, has been dazzling residents and visitors for more than year with an on-and-off eruption that periodically sends fountains of lava soaring into the sky.
The fountaining that began Tuesday morning marked the eruption’s 43rd episode since it began in December 2024. A livestream showed two fountains of bright-red lava and smoke. It’s unclear how long the fountaining will last. Some episodes have lasted a few days and others a few hours.

One eruption in November dispensed just under 11 million cubic yards of lava from inside the volcano — enough lava to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool every 5 1/2 seconds.
Like other times, the molten rock was confined within Kilauea’s summit crater inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and hasn’t threatened homes or buildings.
But the lava fountains were creating trouble for neighboring communities and a highway where the volcanic fragments and ash, known as tephra, was falling. The tephra prompted temporary closures at the national park around the summit and a partial closure of Highway 11, an important route around the island, on either side of the park.
Hawaii County officials also opened a shelter at a district gymnasium for residents and tourists impacted by the road closure or falling tephra. There were no people using the shelter soon after it opened, said Tom Callis, a county spokesperson.
The National Weather Service issued an ashfall warning.
“More than 1/4 inch accumulation of ash is expected over Hawaii Volcanoes Nat’l Park extending to southeast and southwest,” the service wrote alongside a map showing affected locations.
Volcanic tephra can irritate eyes, skin and the respiratory system, according to county officials. Tephra also can clog and cause other problems with water catchment collection systems, which are common in some parts of the Big Island, officials said.
Ash fell so heavily during a previous fountaining episode that some communities needed help from county civil defense workers to clean up ash that coated their homes, Callis said.
Kilauea is one of the world’s most active volcanoes
