The steaming ground crack observed yesterday suggested that lava was close to the surface within the crack, and today lava in the crack reached the surface and began spilling out into the thick forest.

This farthest lava was about 11.9 km (7.4 miles) from the vent on Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō (visible on horizon) and 2.6 km (1.6 miles) from the eastern boundary of the Wao Kele o Puna forest reserve.
