Looking approximately westward across uppermost breakouts along Mother's Day tube system. Breakout site nearest camera is from Cookie Monster skylight (RIP). Second breakout comes from just northwest of Cookie Monster. Third breakout (upper left) comes from big bend in tube. Breakouts are shiny appearing, in contrast to the dull older flows. In upper right is tephra-covered area between Pu`u `O`o and Napau Crater.
