This UAS oblique image of fissure 8 shows that the new lava is mostly confined to the crater floor within the cone, although a small amount extended a short distance into the spillway. HVO geologists noted that the lava activity was at a low level, with the area of incandescence decreasing to almost zero over the course of the afternoon. Gas emissions from the vent were nearly nonexistent.
