The June 27th flow remains active. Slow-moving surface breakouts have reached the stalled flow front and extended the leading edge of the flow about 30 meters (yards). The flow front today was 2.3 km (1.4 miles) upslope from Apa‘a St. and 3.3 km (2.1 miles) from Pāhoa Village Road.

This map uses a satellite image acquired in March 2014 (provided by Digital Globe) as a base to show the area around the front of the June 27th lava flow. Surface activity near the flow front was advancing slowly northeast in two lobes.

This small-scale map shows the June 27th flow in Kīlauea's East Rift Zone in relation to lower Puna. The area of the flow on September 29 at 10:30 AM is shown in pink, while widening and advancement of the flow as mapped on October 01 at 09:40 AM is shown in red.

Another view of the front of the June 27th lava flow. The thermal image on the right corresponds to the area of the white box shown in the normal photograph. The thermal image shows the distribution of active breakouts (yellow and white colors) clearly.

Cores can contain sediment units deposited in different environmental settings. Core photos and X-rays illuminate how sediment units can have contrasting color and density.

Activity in Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō Crater has remained relatively similar over the past several weeks. Small lava ponds and incandescent holes are present in several pits on the crater floor.

A normal photograph of the front of the June 27th lava flow is compared here with an equivalent view from a thermal camera. The thermal image shows the extent of active breakouts more clearly. These breakouts have been advancing slowly over the past few days, and were present a short distance upslope of the stalled flow front.

This map uses a satellite image acquired in March 2014 (provided by Digital Globe) as a base to show the area around the front of the June 27th lava flow. Surface activity near the flow front was advancing slowly northeast in two lobes. The lobe farthest from the vent (the closest to Pāhoa) was about 125 m (137 yards) behind the stalled flow front.

This small-scale map shows the June 27th flow in Kīlauea's East Rift Zone in relation to lower Puna. The area of the flow on September 26, 2014, at 11:15 AM is shown in pink, while widening and advancement of the flow as mapped on September 29 at 10:30 AM is shown in red.

This large-scale map shows the distal part of the June 27th flow in relation to nearby Puna communities. The black dots mark the flow front on specific dates. Small breakouts were scattered across the surface of the flow upslope from the stalled front.

The June 27th lava flow remains active, with breakouts a short distance behind the stalled flow front.

Preview image for video: gives a quick aerial overview of activity at the front of the June 27th lava flow. The flow remains active, with slow-moving breakouts about 2.5 km (1.6 miles) upslope of Apa‘a St. and 3.5 km (2.2 miles) from Pāhoa Village Road.

This map uses satellite imagery acquired in March 2014 (provided by Digital Globe) as a base image to show the area around the front of the June 27th lava flow. The flow front closest to the transfer station was inactive, but small, sluggish breakouts were scattered across the surface of the flow upslope from the stalled front.

Annotated photo showing the terminus of the June 27th lava flow. Small, sluggish breakouts remain active upslope from the stalled front of the flow, near Kaohe Homesteads. More vigorous breakouts are active even farther upslope, midway along the length of the flow and on a pad of lava within the crack system.
