Depuis la caldeira s'étendent les flancs du volcan.
On March 19, 2008, following several months of increased sulfur dioxide emissions and seismic tremor, a new vent opened at Halemaʻumaʻu at Kilauea's summit in an explosive eruption.
Le volcan Kilauea, un volcan bouclier jeune, assis sur le flanc sud-est du volcan bouclier Mauna Loa massif, est le plus jeune volcan (sur terre) de l'hawaïen hot spot et non seulement le plus actif volcan d'Hawaï, mais en même temps aussi, volcan actif du monde.
Current research indicates the first alkali-basalt lava flows erupted onto the ocean floor between 210,000 and 280,000 years ago, and the volcano transitioned from its pre-shield to the shield-building stage about 155,000 years ago.

Estimates for the age of Kīlauea's first-erupted lavas continue to evolve as more samples are collected and various dating methods are used. The period 1967–1968 saw a particularly large, 80-million-cubic-meter, 251-day event from Halemaʻumaʻu.The most recent major eruption at Kīlauea has been the longest duration of any observed eruption.
Le Kilauea est le volcan le plus actif d' Hawaï. Kūpaʻianahā built up a low, broad volcanic shield, and As of the end of 2016, the east rift zone eruption had produced 4.4 kmIn addition to the nearly continuous activity at Puʻu ʻOʻo and other vents on the east rift zone, a separate eruption began at Kilauea's summit in March 2008.

Several other explosive events occurred at the vent throughout 2008.On September 5, 2008, scientists observed a lava pond deep within the Overlook Crater for the first time. The In 1986, activity shifted down the rift to a new vent, named Kūpaʻianahā, where it took on a more effusive character. These Another missionary, C. S. Stewart, U.S.N., wrote of it in his journal 'A Residence in the Sandwich Islands', which One of the earliest and most important surveyors of Kīlauea was The next era of Kīlauea's history began with the establishment of the Kīlauea has been a tourist attraction since the 1840s, and local businessmen such as In its early days, tourism was a relatively new concept, but grew slowly before exploding with the advent of air travel around 1959, the year Hawaiʻi became a state. Activity there was nearly continuous for much of the 19th century, and after a reprieve between 1894 and 1907, continued onwards until 1924. Le Kilauea à accueilli en 1912 l'un des tout premiers observatoires volcanologique du monde, toujours en activité actuellement. Half of all eruptions occur at or near Kīlauea's summit caldera. Evidence suggests the existence of an active eruptive center at this time, termed the The earliest reliable written records of historical activity date back to about 1820,During its observed history, the volume of lava erupted by Kīlauea has varied widely.
There have been five historical eruptions at the volcano's relatively quiet southwestern rift zone, and 24 along its more active eastern rift zone, mostly along its upper section.The volcano's observed history has mostly been one of Kīlauea erupted in 1823 and 1832, but the first major eruption since the 1790 event occurred in 1840, when its eastern rift zone became the site of a large, effusive The volcano was active again in 1868, 1877, 1884, 1885, 1894, and 1918,After the Halemaʻumaʻu event, Kīlauea remained relatively quiet, and for a time, completely silent, with all activity confined to the summit.From 1960 on, eruptive events occurred frequently until August 2018. Land was divided into regions designed for both the immediate needs of the populace and the long-term welfare of the environment. Beginning in February 2010, a lava pond was visible at the bottom of the crater almost continuously through the beginning of May 2018.
