Scattered breakouts northeast of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō continue...

Breakouts continue northeast of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō in three main areas: 1) at the northern base of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō cone, 2) north of Pu‘u Kahauale‘a and 3) about 6 km (4 miles) northeast of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō. This photograph looks east and shows the breakout about 6 km from Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō. This breakout consists of several narrow lobes that have expanded the June 27th lava flow margin by a minor amount, with a small amount of vegetation burning.

A closer look at the leading tip of the farthest downslope breakout. The tip of the breakout was burning forest, and was 6.9 km (4.3 miles) northeast of the June 27th vent on Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō.
