Activity continues at Kamokuna ocean entry and along 61g flow field

Lava continues to enter the ocean at the Kamokuna ocean entry with many small lava streams near the front of the delta. On August 19, there was a breakout approximately 120 m (394 ft) away from the edge of the sea cliff that lasted for approximately 9.5 hours. This breakout (upper center) cascaded over the cliff and onto the delta, producing a small ‘A‘ā flow seen on the western (left) side of the delta. Large cracks, some of which span the entire delta, continue to highlight instability and the possibility of a collapse.
