View of January vent and East Pond Vent
Detailed Description
View of January vent and East Pond Vent, with south wall of Pu`u `O`o crater dimly shown in upper left. Note billowed appearance of lava flows that spilled from both vents. The lava was gas rich and so left cavernous flows with fragile crusts, called shelly pahoehoe.
