At 13:00 p.m. HST. A new fissure extended across Pohoiki Road between the intersections of Leilani Avenue and Hinalo Street. Scientists had difficulty viewing the entire fissure from their location, but reported lava spatter 5 m (7 ft) high as well as a loud jetting of gas from the fissure. This photo shows the steaming fissure extending across Pohoiki Road. Photo taken Wednesday, May 9, 2018 courtesy of U.S. Geological Survey
