Detailed Description

Looking roughly northeast, along the flow path, towards Pāhoa (just visible at the top of the photo). Brown scars in the forest on the left of the photo mark previous brush fires, sparked by the heat of the lava. The largest smoke plume at middle left of the photo is from a lobe of pāhoehoe lava, about 2.5 km (1.5 miles) above AP‘A‘ā Street, that has been advancing to the north.
