Looking up Kohola from its southwest terminus, showing cascade on Holei Pali in background. All lava in image comes from Kohola arm of Mothers' Day flow, but cascades are in separate branch from that which feeds foreground lava. Main tube in Kohola is above cascades and carries lava farther east (right) than shown in image. The tube descends Paliuli and feeds flow on coastal flat that spreads southwestward, to area shown in photograph, as well as southeastward.
