Flow front slowly advancing across coastal plain

 

View of an ‘A‘ā flow surging down the face of the pali. Narrower ‘A‘ā channels are visible below.
The flow front remains active, and consists of slow-moving pāhoehoe lava. This afternoon (July 7) the flow front was roughly 2.2 km (1.4 miles) from the base of the pali, 1.2 km (0.7 miles) from the ocean, and 1 km (0.6 miles) from the road.
