East Lae`apuki ocean entry, with faint glow from West Highcastle entry in distance. Large view shows headlights of car on Holei Pali, near skyline directly above new delta. The two growing East Lae`apuki lava deltas are visible. The nearest is the the largest and oldest; it began on February 20. The other, smaller, delta appears as a far lobe of the near delta and probably will become so with continued growth. See right image for scale.

Tighter view of East Lae`apuki lava delta, with photographer standing on top of sea cliff for scale. Note the fan that is building outward from the sea cliff, down which the two-channeled flow is moving. Contrast these two images with the last ones posted below on February 21 to see growth of lava delta; all four images were taken from nearly the same place.
