Perched pond atop the rootless shield
Detailed Description
The perched pond atop the rootless shield at 2150 feet--the middle shield in February 15 photo--breached on February 18. Since then, lava has been spilling out of the pond through the breach, forming an `a`a flow now 2 kilometers long. Aerial view showing the dark `a`a down slope from the broken side of the pond.
