White laze plumes mark locations where lava enters the ocean over a broad area. An open lava channel flows into the ocean at the southern-most plume (middle) near the southern flow margin. The boat ramp at Isaac Hale Park is about 940 m (0.58 mi) farther south of the flow margin. View is toward the west-southwest.
