Aerial view looking up Kohola flow (central part of image), with main Mother's Day flow on right separated from Kohola by large grassy kipuka. Pu`u `O`o is on horizon. Eastern part of Kohola flow took off in next 20 hours, moving along the edge of the main Mother's Day flow, eating into the large grassy kipuka, and eventually reaching Wilipe`a lava delta (area seaward of grassland and outboard of old sea cliff in lower right) the next morning.
