Lava spills from crusted perched pond atop small rootless shield at 2180 feet. The lava cascades several meters into an older breached pond in 2150-foot shield (see February 2002 archive for photos and definition of rootless shield). The lava is moving away from the camera. In distance is part of the `a`a flow generated during breaching of the 2150-foot shield. Compare with photos above taken two days later.
