Predawn view of PKK flow just starting to descend Pulama pali, some 2.8 km east-northeast of Banana flow. The front of PKK flow has been just above top of pali for several months, though it has been stagnant for most of that time. Much of flow was active on August 6, however, all the way to flow front, at that time some 800 m or so above top of pali. View is from east end of park trail to Banana lava delta.

View from same location, showing incandescent surface lava along track of Banana flow. Note the widespread patches, from upper left to lower right and middle. This indicates the complex pattern of breakouts from the Banana lava tube.
