Scattered breakouts NE of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō

Detailed Description

Scattered breakouts remain active northeast of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō. On today's overflight, breakouts were active as far as 8 km (5 miles) northeast of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō. Some of this activity was at the forest boundary, burning vegetation. This narrow lobe, one of several active on the flow field today, traveled over earlier Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō lava (light brown) to reach the forest boundary.
