Front of wide breakout in Kohola arm of Mother's Day flow on coastal flat. Lava in foreground is supplied through a tube down Pulama pali and Paliuli. White fume from upper center of image comes from this tube, which angles downslope from upper left. Fume is from top of Paliuli; above looms Pulama pali and, to left, Holei Pali.

Same breakout as in above image, but wider view looking toward pali systemeters. Fume in above image is at right edge of this image. Two bare areas on pali indicate different vintages of Kohola. That to right (with fume) became active earlier in summer; that above shows flow that dropped over Holei Pali and thence Paliuli within past 3 weeks. This morning, two small areas of surface lava are in the left bare area at top of Paliuli.
