Waikupanaha Lava Flow

Detailed Description

Lava continues to flow into the ocean at the well-established Waikupanaha ocean entry. About 700 m to the west (up the coastline in this photograph), the new ocean entry puts off a small plume that is barely visible from this vantage point. Surface flows (light grey flows) in between the two ocean entries were only 100 m shy of reaching the ocean, but did not appear active from the air.
