Flow front remains narrow, continues to advance towards northeast...

The June 27th lava flow remains active, and continues advancing towards the northeast. The flow front today was still narrow, about 185 m (roughly 600 feet) wide. The flow front today was 1.3 km (0.8 miles) upslope from Apa‘a St. and 2.4 km (1.5 miles) from Pāhoa Village Road.

Comparison of a normal photograph with a thermal image. The white box shows the rough extent of the thermal image. The thermal image shows active breakouts (white and yellow areas) focused at the flow front but also scattered behind the front.

A closer look at the narrow flow front. Kaohe Homesteads subdivision in the upper left portion of the image.

A thermal image of the flow front, which consisted of several lobes moving through thick vegetation. Yellow and white areas are active breakouts on the surface, while the red and purple areas are cooling crust.

Preview image for video: provides a brief aerial overview of the flow front, showing its proximity to the the transfer station on Apa‘a St., and ends by panning over to show Pāhoa.
