Slow-moving surface breakouts extend flow front a short distance...

The June 27th flow remains active. Slow-moving surface breakouts have reached the stalled flow front and extended the leading edge of the flow about 30 meters (yards). The flow front today was 2.3 km (1.4 miles) upslope from Apa‘a St. and 3.3 km (2.1 miles) from Pāhoa Village Road.

Another view of the front of the June 27th lava flow. The thermal image on the right corresponds to the area of the white box shown in the normal photograph. The thermal image shows the distribution of active breakouts (yellow and white colors) clearly.

A skylight provided a view of the swiftly moving lava stream in the lava tube.

Activity in Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō Crater has remained relatively similar over the past several weeks. Small lava ponds and incandescent holes are present in several pits on the crater floor.
