June 27th lava flow advances toward Pāhoa Village Road...

The June 27th flow remains active, and is slowly approaching Pāhoa Village Road. This photo was taken just before 10 am, and shows the flow front moving through private property towards a low point on the road. At 11:30 am today, the flow front was 215 m (235 yards) from Pāhoa Village Road.

Another view of the flow front and its proximity to Pāhoa Village Road. Photo was taken just before 10 am.

This photo looks downslope from Cemetery Road, and shows the pasture and cemetery that the flow front advanced through several days ago. Much of the cemetery has been covered by lava, but a kipuka has left a portion of the cemetery uncovered for now.

A comparison of a normal photograph with a thermal image of the flow front. The white box shows the extent of the thermal image. The thermal image shows that most of the activity in this region is focused at the leading edge of the flow (white and yellow areas show active surface lava). In addition, a small lobe on the western margin of the flow is active (and partially obscured) in thick forest above the private lot that the front is moving through.

A view of the flow over Cemetery Rd./AP‘A‘ā St. The transfer station is at the top of the image.

Preview image for video: provides an aerial overview of the position of the flow front. The file size is quite large and may take several minutes to download.

This photo from 6:30 AM, HST, on Wednesday, October 29, 2014, shows lava from the June 27th flow continuing to move downslope through the property it entered the previous morning. As of Wednesday morning at 7 AM, the flow was 240 m (260 yd) straight-line distance from Pāhoa Village Road.
