June 27 lava flow remains active in forest NE of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō

Detailed Description

The June 27 lava flow remains active as a narrow lobe pushing through thick forest northeast of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō, triggering small brush fires. This view is to the east, with the forested cone of Heiheiahulu partly obscured by the smoke plume from this angle. The flow front today was 8.7 km (5.4 miles) northeast of the vent on Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō.
