Detailed Description

The second flow from the eastern breakout on Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō—in the area of the "Peace Day" flow that broke out in September 2011—remained active as of this morning, and its total length was about 1.2 km (0.75 mi) long. This lava flow was slowly spreading laterally, but the flow front had stalled.
