The front of the June 27 lava flow remained stalled Tuesday morning, though breakouts upslope were active, according to Hawaii County Civil Defense.
A breakout several hundred yards upslope was observed advancing into forest along the north edge of the flow during an overflight Tuesday morning.
That breakout advanced about 110 yards since Monday morning and was moving to the northeast, according to Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
Breakouts also remain active closer to Puu Oo, about midway along the length of the flow.
“None of these breakouts by itself has been vigorous, but together they compose a significant portion of the total flow volume,” HVO said on its website.
