A breakout from the episode 61g vent at the head of the lava tube on November 21 sent lava streaming downslope. That breakout was still active when observed on November 29 and had traveled about 1.3 km (0.8 miles), partly surrounding PuÊ»u Halulu, a tephra cone formed in 1983 at the start of the PuÊ»u ʻŌʻŠeruption. The PEcam webcam looks upslope from PuÊ»u Halulu toward PuÊ»u ʻŌʻÅ, which is shrouded by clouds (top background). Photo taken Tuesday, November 29, 2016 courtesy of USGS/HVO
