Overflight of Kīlauea Volcano's lower East Rift Zone assesses changes to fi

View from a helicopter, of Kīlauea Volcano's lower East Rift Zone, taken during the early morning overflight. The channel is full but not quite up to the rim and there were no significant overflows. The view is toward the west, looking up the lava channel toward fissure 8 (center of photo in the distance).
