Flow front advancement slows, active breakouts persist near front

Detailed Description

The June 27th lava flow advancement has slowed, with the leading edge of the flow moving only a few tens of meters (yards) over the past two days. Nevertheless, active breakouts persist around the flow front, as shown in this photo by the continued burning of vegetation along the flow margins. This morning, the flow front was 1.1 km (0.7 miles) from Apa‘a St., as measured along a straight line.
