The active surface flow from PuÊ»u ʻŌʻŠis still advancing slowly downslope and was 4.4 km (2.7 miles) long when mapped today. Averaged over the past six days, the flow has been advancing at a rate of about 200 m (220 yards) per day. At that rate, it will take about 10 days to reach the top of PÅ«lama pali, which is in the middle distance about 2 km (1.2 miles) farther downslope. The coastal plain and ocean are in the far distance. The active flow is creeping across some of the last-exposed Ê»AÊ»Ä flows erupted from PuÊ»u ʻŌʻŠin the 1980’s.
