Nov. 25 breakout advances; New vent opens on NE flank of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō

The breakout that began as a rupture from the tube supplying the June 27th lava flow continues to advance slowly to the northeast and has reached the forest. While the front of the flow is about 3 km (1.9 miles) from Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō, it has a long way to go to catch up to the surface flows that have persisted for the last several weeks about 3 km (1.9 miles) farther to the northeast.
