More breakouts in Kohola flow

Toes of lava along edge of Kohola flow within 50 meters of ocean. Lava is leaving toes mainly along ground surface. Width of view, about 5 meters.

Actively expanding and advancing toe, coming from under crust along edge of Kohola flow. Width of view, about 2 meters.

Curling toe, same one as at bottom of upper right image. Note stretched skin and bubbles. Width of view, about 50 centimeters.
Media
Lava starting to escape from crack
Sources/Usage: Public Domain. View Media Details
Lava starting to escape from crack developed in inflating Kohola flow. Note how crust has been uplifted along crack (background is higher than foreground), owing to pressurized lava. Width of view, about 2 meters.
Media
Looking upstream at stream of lava that broke out from under crust

Looking upstream at stream of lava that broke out from under crust at upper right from inflation crack. Width of view nearest camera, about 2.5 meters.
Media
Stream of lava pouring across flow.
Sources/Usage: Public Domain. View Media Details
Stream of lava pouring across Kohola flow. Relief is about 5 m; width of stream nearest camera, about 1.5 meters.
Media
Slowing moving toe of lava at tip of active breakout

Slowing moving toe of lava at tip of active breakout shown in upper right.. Width of view, about 1.5 meters.

Looking downstream, showing notch where lava is anticipated to plunge over sea cliff if it makes it that far. West end of Wilipe`a lava delta is left of notch. Steam rises from hot front of delta recently exposed to water by collapse.

Toe of lava moving fairly rapidly down moderate slope along edge of Kohola flow. Note that lava moves more rapidly at top than at base of toe, in contrast to lava in video for March 1, which was moving across nearly flat ground. Note also developing wrinkles in moving crust.
