Start of same cascade as shown to left but 3 minutes later. Crust is growing from right to left from point of lava emergence (right side of image) as flux declines, and sluggish lava develops ropes where gradient slackens. Three minutes later, all lava was hidden by crust, and cascade was a mere dribble.
