Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō — North Spatter Cone Flow

Detailed Description

The lava flow from the north spatter cone, in Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō, began on Tuesday night and came close to the north rim of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō crater, where our webcams are situated. Because of this proximity, several of the webcams and other pieces of equipment were moved to higher ground on Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō.
