A time lapse camera was poised on the southern flank of Pu'u 'O'o cone from early 2004 through mid-2007. This location overlooked the Martin Luther King (MLK) vent and provided a distant view of the top of the Prince Kuhio Kalanianaole (PKK) tube system—the lava tube system active at Pu'u 'O'o from 2004 to 2007.
