Detailed Description
May 21, 1998. Aerial view to SW above a breakout from the lava tube on the steep pali about 6 km from Pu`u `O`o. The breakout is feeding an `a`a lava flow that reached the base of the pali. This breakout ceased within a few hours after this image was taken as the tube system accomodated more of the erupting lava.
