Breakouts continue upslope of the flow front, around the area where lava first entered ground cracks (about halfway between the Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō vent and the flow front). Today, several new, but small, breakouts were active in this area.
The leading edge of the flow today was moving through a tall stand of trees.
