Today, two recent breakouts (lighter in color) were visible on the steeper portion of the pali. The western breakout (left of the kipuka) started on August 27 from the 61g tube, and has started to advance onto the coastal plain. To the east (right) of the kipuka is a smaller surface flow that is a part of the larger June 26 breakout. This breakout has been supplying the active surface flows on the coastal plain for the last two months, and was approximately 1.9 km (1.2 mi) from the road today (September 1). Surface breakouts also remain active over much of the upper flow field (above the pali).
