Two unusually large driblet spires in ‘Ālo‘i Crater on May 21, 1971

Detailed Description

These spires developed on the surface of the lava fill in the crater. Since there was a fissure active in the crater on April 9, 1970, it is uncertain if these spires were true hornitos or were fed from the fissure.
