This is a photo of three ocean entries.
All three ocean entries are visible in this aerial view looking east-northeast. Largest plume of laze comes from East Lae`apuki entry, where a moderate-size lava delta is growing. Thin bluish plume comes from small entry at East Kamoamoa, just east of point in upper left. Barely visible is a tiny wispy cloud coming from Kamoamoa entry, between East Lae`apuki and East Kamoamoa. Discolored water is visible just off both of the small entries as well as the East Lae`apuki lava delta.
