Predawn view of PKK flow just starting to descend Pulama pali, some 2.8 km east-northeast of Banana flow. The front of PKK flow has been just above top of pali for several months, though it has been stagnant for most of that time. Much of flow was active on August 6, however, all the way to flow front, at that time some 800 m or so above top of pali. View is from east end of park trail to Banana lava delta.
