The breakout north of KahaualeÊ»a has one lobe that has traveled along the west side of the perched lava channel that was active in late 2007. This breakout consists of blue glassy pÄhoehoe, which is easily visible in the photograph on the left. The white box shows the rough extent of the thermal image on the right. Active (flowing) portions of the breakout are shown by yellow and white colors, while the red and purple areas show hot, but solidified, portions of the surface crust.
