Detailed Description

This is a thermal image, looking southwest, showing the active lava flows on the coastal plain. The ocean entry points are to the left, and the breakout near the base of the pali in Royal Gardens is to the right. The active flows near the ocean straddle the National Park boundary (i.e. both inside and outside the Park).
