The Leading Edge

The Leading Edge...
The leading edge of the lobe nearest Pahoa Marketplace is still stalled but, for the past few days, a new breakout has been advancing along its southern margin and is approaching the AP‘A‘ā St. firebreak.

Still Plenty of Breakouts

Still Plenty of Breakouts...
Several breakouts were active upslope of the stalled front. This breakout issued from an inflated tumulus along the north margin of the June 27th flow.

Halema‘uma‘u

Halema‘uma‘u...
The thin crust over the lava lake within the Halema‘uma‘u Overlook crater was moving slowly to the southeast. During our overflight, there was no spattering and wispy gas emissions allowed clear views.
