The active episode 61 pāhoehoe flows of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō

View looking northwest through rain at the silvery flows at the front of the active episode 61 flow field. Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō is hidden in the clouds in the top left part of the photo. The ‘a‘ā flow at bottom center is the inactive terminus of the initial flow emplaced on September 21-22, 2011, after the episode 61 fissure on Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō's east flank opened on September 21. The active flows reached the front of the ‘A‘ā flow several hours later.
