Looking west across lava flow covering Highcastle beach. Laze rises from entry points along front of flow, which is building new land into water beyond former beach. Compare with last image of May 22 to recognize seaward growth of flow. West Highcastle lava delta, with broad, high tumulus, in background. Person silhouetted against water near left edge of image gives scale.

Breakout on surface of flow covering beach. People above sea cliff, and lone person on flow near breakout, give scale. Note drapery on old sea cliff, some dating from this event and some formed by early short-lived flows.
