Long-term evolution of the Episode 58 lava channel

(September 8 to November 30, 2007) Within days of the onset of Episode 58 on July 21, 2008, activity localized on the easternmost eruptive fissure—Fissure D—and channelized lava began flowing to the northeast. Repeated overflows from the channel added slowly to its height, and the channel became perched up to 45 meters above the pre-existing lava surface.

This is two video clips captured at the same site from two different angles. The rub trees are on one side of the trail and the excavated log is on the other side. Bears that rub on one or more of the trees often visit the log as well.

This photo shows foxtail pine cones in different stages of development. The small, tightly closed purplish cones are the most recently formed, the ones on the right older but not yet opened, and the one in the center of the image has already opened and dropped its seeds, which are tucked at the base of the scales.
