Breakouts continue NE of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō; Nov. 25 breakout remains active

Detailed Description

Scattered breakouts persist northeast of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō, and the farthest reach of active breakouts today was 5.9 km (3.7 miles) from the vent on Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō. A minor change on the flow field occurred last week, with a breakout from the tube on November 25 that created a small flow that remains active today. This November 25 breakout is easily visible as the lighter colored area extending to the bottom of the photo. The breakout point is visible by the thick fume on the north flank of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō.
