Several openings on the floor of the Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō

Detailed Description

Several openings on the floor of the Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō crater and along the Peace Day flow tube system continue to degas profusely. The only visible lava, however, is the small lava lake confined to a pit on the northeastern side of the crater floor. The lava lake has been present for the last several months.
