Geologists in the field on Friday, December 29, found active lava breakouts roughly 330 m (0.2 mile) out from the base of Pūlama Pali, and approximately 2.9 km (1.8 miles) from the emergency road. As these pāhoehoe fingers reached the edge of a ground crack, lava cascaded over a meter (yard) down. Photo taken Friday, December 29, 2017 courtesy of U.S. Geological Survey
