Satellite image shows location of breakouts on flow field
June 2, 2017
This satellite image was captured on Friday, June 2, by the Sentinel-2 satellite operated by the European Space Agency. Although this is a false-color image, the color map has been chosen to mimic what the human eye would expect to see. Bright red pixels depict areas of very high temperatures and show active lava. White areas are clouds.The image shows that breakouts continue in several areas on the flow field. The largest breakout is in the upper flow field, about 4.5 km (2.8 miles) southeast of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō. Smaller breakouts are present on the pali. Breakouts are also active on the coastal plain, near the base of the pali. A faint thermal anomaly is also present at the Kamokuna ocean entry.
