View across a new bench forming at the Waha`ula entry point

May 25, 1998. View is SW across a new bench forming at the Waha`ula entry point. Following the brief pause on May 19-20, many small breakouts from the lava tube feeding this entry point poured over the 3-to 4-m-tall cliff onto the bench. The cliff was created when an older bench collapsed into the ocean.
