Detailed Description

A single area of breakouts, visible as the silvery patch in the center of the photograph, was active on today's overflight. These surface flows are high above the pali, about 3.5 km (2.2 miles) southeast of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō cone. Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō is visible in the upper left portion of the image. The flows on the coastal plain, as well as the ocean entry, have been inactive for the last two weeks.
