This wide-angle photo shows the Fissure 8 cone (center of image) and the long line of steaming areas extending uprift (west), towards the upper right corner of the image. No significant change was observed at Fissure 8 during today's overflight. Thermal images (see inset lower left) show no signs of lava within the cone - the small collapse pit in the center of the crater floor is cold.

A thick plume obscured views into Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō's crater with the naked eye today, but thermal images were able to see into the deep parts of the crater. The bottom of the crater appears to still be covered in collapse rubble - there were no signs of any hot material.

A large black sand beach remains in front of the Pohoiki boat ramp. Roadway construction over the recent lava flows can be seen at the top of the image.
