Breakouts persist NE of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō

Detailed Description

Scattered breakouts remain active northeast of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō, with the farthest activity slightly more than 6 km (3.7 miles) from the vent. Some of the breakouts were active along the forest boundary, creating small brush fires. Other breakouts, like the one shown in this photograph, are covering earlier portions of the flow field.
