The June 27th lava flow remains active, with breakouts a short distance behind the stalled flow front.

 

A normal photograph of the front of the June 27th lava flow is compared here with an equivalent view from a thermal camera. The thermal image shows the extent of active breakouts more clearly. These breakouts have been advancing slowly over the past few days, and were present a short distance upslope of the stalled flow front.
Preview image for video: gives a quick aerial overview of activity at the front of the June 27th lava flow. The flow remains active, with slow-moving breakouts about 2.5 km (1.6 miles) upslope of Apa‘a St. and 3.5 km (2.2 miles) from Pāhoa Village Road.
