Map as of 11:00 a.m. HST, May 22. The flow field has not expanded significantly during the past day; note a new lava flow that advanced downslope west of the active lava channels (see label) observed during this morning's overflight. There is one active ocean entry today. Shaded purple areas indicate lava flows erupted in 1840, 1955, 1960, and 2014-2015.
