The 1960 eruption of Kīlauea occurred from January 13 to February 19, 1960, on Kīlauea, the most active volcano in Hawaii, US. It followed the eruption of late 1959 in Kīlauea Iki, near the volcano's summit. Fissure vents opened up on the eastern tip of the island of Hawaii, just outside the town of Kapoho.
