During early morning field observations, a large breakout of lava near the base of PÅ«lama Pali (steep fault scarp in background) was visible through fumes from the lava tube and heat shimmer from lava on the coastal plain. The approximate location of the lava tube feeding KÄ«lauea's active lava flow is visible as degassing sources (white fume) on the pali. Photo taken Friday, July 22, 2016 courtesy of USGS/HVOThe flow was about 615m from the road and 760 m from the ocean.
