The weather today allowed for clear views of the episode 61g flow field and Pu‘u ‘Ō‘Å. The active 61g surface flows continue on and near the base of PÅ«lama pali, along with scattered breakouts on the upper flow field (above the pali). The closest active surface flows to the emergency road are approximately 2.8 km (1.7 miles) from the road. Three breakout areas on PÅ«lama pali are marked with black arrows, and Pu‘u ‘Ō‘Šcan be seen on the skyline. There have been no major changes at the inactive Kamokuna lava delta (foreground).
