Detailed Description

Low aerial oblique view looking south across the upper flow field toward coast. Yellow-orange spot is a skylight or opening into a lava tube at the 1860-ft elevation; opening is about 4 m wide, and the stream of lava is 6.5 m beneath the ground surface. About 50 m beyond skylight is shiny flow that issued from a skylight on January 15, 1998; the site of blue-gray smoke marks the old skylight now crusted over by the recent flow.
