exploded. On the night of February 6-7, such a collapse began with the slow but steady subsidence of the crater floor, accompanied by muffled rumbling. In the early hours of the morning, a six- to nine-meter-deep depression formed on the cracked surface from which streams of liquid lava escaped, the unsolidified remnants of the 90-meter-deep lava lake formed in 1952 and isolated from the surface by more recent lava. As it reached a depth of thirty meters, the collapse suddenly accelerated at 11:51. Within nine minutes, the depression was 300 meters in diameter and 90 meters deep. A circular fissure opened in the upper part of the rim, releasing large quantities of lava from the 1952 eruption. Until February 11, this
692:. On March 11, a third collapse occurred at the bottom of the Halemaʻumaʻu crater, accompanied by a lava outcrop. A depression 120 meters long, 90 meters wide, and 30 meters deep forms in 25 minutes to the northeast of the first two, at the foot of the crater wall. These collapses in the Halemaʻumaʻu will represent a total volume of 22 × 106 cubic meters, or half the volume of lava emitted during the 1952 eruption that formed the lava lake, but they will not be followed by any further manifestations, unlike the 1924 eruption. 486: 637:. This behavior change is interpreted as the arrival on the surface of magma from the Kīlauea magma chamber, mixed with that present beneath Kapoho since at least 1955. This exogenous magma is thought to have originated from the 12 × 106 cubic meters remnant of the late 1959 eruption of Kīlauea Iki, which made its way under the east rift to Kapoho. This new lava headed northeast and continued to advance into the Pacific Ocean just north of Cape Kumukahi until February 13. 470: 314: 29: 696: 521: 573: 417: 245: 709: 453:, and bypasses it to the north. In its path are the Warm Springs, hot springs that provide a place to relax and picnic, which the lava eventually reaches and fills around midnight on the night of January 17-18. This part of the flow, continuing its course, reached and advanced into Higashi Pond from the southwest, before the two lava fronts met and finally filled the pond, whose water had completely evaporated. 509:, causing the flow to move southwards along its entire length. This threatened the homes and schools of Kapoho, as well as the Kapoho Beach district further south. An initial dike between Kapoho and the Puʻu Kukae volcanic cone was built between January 19 and 20. Measuring between 4.5 and 6 meters high, it was poorly located, rising between 6 and 12 meters below the natural threshold between Puʻu Kukae and the 1037: 729:
except a few buildings southwest of the site of the former settlement, next to the lava flow. The roads have been retraced, with the coastal road crossing the lava flow from one end to the other and the road to the Cape Kumukahi lighthouse via Kapoho following the old route. Part of the lava flow, notably the mass of tephra formed on January 27, has since been exploited as a slag quarry not far from Koaʻe.

Puʻu Kukae caused the lava to seep into the volcanic cone of loosely consolidated ash. A 150-meter-long fragment was torn from the cone and floated to the surface of the flow, ten meters above its original position. Managing to pass under the dike and emerge on the other side, the lava continued its progression south-eastwards, reaching the school, which was destroyed between 10 a.m. and 12.30 p.m., and the

The first houses were destroyed, consumed by the heat, and then crushed by the slowly advancing wall of lava. Extending behind the lava front, a vast field of liquid lava threatened to engulf the village at any moment, should the edge of the flow break. This catastrophic scenario will not occur but will be replaced by another when some of the fissures reactivate and spew
276:. With the installation of a new seismograph on January 12, over a thousand tremors were recorded during the day, at a maximum rate of one every ten seconds or so. These earthquakes gained in intensity the following day, just before 6 a.m., allowing residents to start feeling them. They triggered the replay of two parallel faults, the 497:, which until then had been relatively unaffected by the eruption due to its slightly elevated location. The flow, which had reached the gates of the village, began to enter the town as a result of the collapse of the southern flank of the slag cone, which had discharged large quantities of lava in the direction of the houses. The 665:. This deflation, the largest recorded on Kīlauea at the time, continued once the eruption was over until July 1960. It was accompanied by small earthquakes from January 23 onwards, up to several hundred a day, caused by fracturing of the rock surrounding the magma chamber due to changes in pressure stress. 724:
When the eruption ended on February 19, the 122 × 106 cubic meters of lava and the 7.5 × 106 cubic meters of tephra released covered an area of over 10 square kilometers, including 2 square kilometers of new land reclaimed from the sea, bringing its volcanic explosivity index to 2.

walls. The most significant development was the appearance of a sixty-meter-diameter ring of fumaroles at the bottom of the crater on February 5. This formation is not new, since such fumaroles had already appeared in the same spot during the eruption of May 1924, just before the crater collapsed and

This levee also proved ineffective, however, as the lava opened four breaches on January 28, and the next day was submerged along most of its length. The lava also bypassed the barrier, advancing into the ocean to the north, branching off to the south, and stopping before reaching the lighthouse. The

A community of 300 inhabitants, a school, churches, roads, and crops were destroyed and covered by several meters of lava that advanced out to sea, modifying the coastline by bringing Cape Kumukahi, Hawaii's easternmost point, a little further east.

This "last chance" dike, built on January 23 and 24, was as ineffective as the first, being bypassed by the lava at 1:13 a.m. on January 27.

This increased in height from 125 meters on the night of January 15 to over 200 meters in the early hours of January 16, with peaks of 275, 320, 365, and 425 meters respectively on the morning of January 16, during the day on

After a final burst in which the fountains reached a height of 300 meters, they gradually dried up and stopped spewing lava on February 19, marking the end of the eruption. The highest volcanic cone, rising more than a hundred meters above the surrounding terrain, is named Puʻu Laimana in honor of

in the magma chamber, this circulation was one of the causes of the 1960 eruption, since at the end of Kīlauea Iki's eruption, the volcano's interior contained more lava than at the start of the eruption. This did not affect the volcano's internal pressure, which increased. Once the lava fountains

and advanced into the town from the southwest, destroying every building in its path. At midnight on January 27, and after just thirty minutes, most of Kapoho was destroyed. The last two buildings still standing were swallowed up on January 30 in a final advance of the lava.
404:, totaling 200 meters in length, continued to emit lava. The fountains build small, ten-meter-high scoria cones around the eruptive vents, and the lava escaping through the northern opening continues to feed the 1.5-kilometer-long lava flow, 500 meters from the 445:
