Flow front spreads out at base of pali...

The flow front reached the base of the pali yesterday, and over the past day has begun spreading out a short distance onto the coastal plain. Channelized ‘A‘ā remains active on the steep portion of the pali, with several parallel channels of swiftly moving lava.

A view looking up the pali, with the channels feeding lava to the flow front, which is spreading out at the base of the pali in the bottom of the photograph.

A section of the channelized ‘A‘ā, with what appears to be a small surge of lava moving through the channel.

Just above the steep section of the pali, the lava flow transitions from tube-fed pāhoehoe to the open channels that are feeding lava at the flow front.

A look into one of several skylights on the lava tube. The brightest area is the open lava stream.

Another skylight opened up in the past few days, exposing a long section of the lava stream.
