View shows the bottom and upper lava entry point

1998 (approx.)

Detailed Description

June 4, 1998. Aerial view to SW shows the Waha`ula (bottom) and Kamokuna (upper) lava entry points on the south coastline of Kilauea Volcano. The three small but distinct plumes rising from the Waha`ula entry point indicate that lava is entering the sea at three different points. In the past few weeks, most lava poured into the sea at the Kamokuna entry.
