Lava flows from two different vents in Puʻu ʻŌʻŠcrater have spilled out of the crater and down the flanks of the cone over the past week. This photo shows the new flow, easy to identify with its light gray color, originating from the south spatter cone in Puʻu ʻŌʻŠcrater (the spatter cone is visible as a bump on the crater floor). This flow was still active the morning of April 28, 2014 and had traveled a short distance southeast. Another flow, originating from the north spatter cone in Puʻu ʻŌʻŠcrater, is not visible in this photograph. Photo courtesy of USGS/HVO
