The March 5 breakout of the 61g flow is producing active surface flows on and at the base of the pali (cliff). The slow-moving pÄhoehoe flow front (foreground) was approximately 400 meters (yards) beyond the base of the pali on the afternoon of May 23. An ‘aâ€˜Ä channel (center) made its way down the pali, along with other small breakouts and channels of ‘aâ€˜Ä and pÄhoehoe scattered to the west of the main 61g lava tube (visible degassing at upper right).
