Refilling of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō crater

Refilling of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō crater

The refilling of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō during Episode 57 was driven by the eruption of lava from two vents—one on the west-central part of the crater floor (to the right) and the other on the eastern side of the crater (to the left). This movie shows the competing interaction between flows from these two vents for a period of several hours on July 8.

A bee forages for pollen on a daisy-like flower in a cultivated garden on a winter day.  The daisy is most likely Euryops pectinatus or African bush daisy.
