No significant changes at Fissure 8 or Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō

Detailed Description

This wide-angle photo shows the Fissure 8 cone (center of image) and the long line of steaming areas extending uprift (west), towards the upper right corner of the image. No significant change was observed at Fissure 8 during today's overflight. Thermal images (see inset lower left) show no signs of lava within the cone - the small collapse pit in the center of the crater floor is cold.
