Overall slow advancement of flows on coastal plain; one small surge

Flows are still advancing slowly on the coastal plain, and were 1.3 km (0.8 miles) from the ocean today. Although overall flow field advancement was sluggish, one small area had a brief surge of activity during today's field mapping. A portion of an inflated flow margin gave way due to increasing fluid pressure from within, sending out an impressive gush of lava. In the background, the fume sources on the pali mark the path of the lava tube coming through Royal Gardens subdivision.
