June 26 breakout continues to advance across the coastal plain

Detailed Description

The June 26 breakout remains active at the flow front, which can be distinguished by the light silver color at the bottom-center of the photo. The flow has been slowly advancing along the eastern margin of the main episode 61g flow field, and this afternoon was approximately 1 km (0.6 miles) from the base of the pali and 2.2 km (1.4 miles) from the emergency access road. The breakout has developed a lava tube on the pali based on the areas of concentrated degassing on the pali (center) and above.
