Detailed Description

A closer look at the lava flow field near Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō. Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō is in the upper left portion of the photograph. Slightly above and to the right of the center of the photograph, the light colored area of lava is the active breakout (which started on February 21) on the north flank of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō. The small forested cone of Kahauale‘a is just to the left of the center of the photograph.
