A small vent in Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō crater throws spatter a short distance, building up a small cone around its opening. A thick layer of Pele's hair covers the downwind part of the cone. This vent was also the source of a small lava flow erupted on the crater floor in the past day.

This movie, created from a sequence of HVO webcam images, shows lava erupting from a spatter cone within the south embayment in the Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō crater (see February 24 image below for location). The activity started around 8:15 a.m., HST, on Wednesday, March 2, 2016, and covered part of the crater floor before ceasing at about 3:00 p.m.
