A cloud-free satellite image collected at 10 am today (Saturday, Nov 22) showed that active breakouts are focused in two areas on the June 27th lava flow. In the upper part of the flow field, a breakout was active about 4 km (2.5 miles) northeast of Puʻu ʻŌʻō. The second area of breakouts was active around the ground crack system. The front of these breakouts has advanced roughly 370 meters (0.2 miles) north over the past day, following the western margin of the existing June 27th flow. The front of these breakouts was roughly 5.8 km (3.6 miles) upslope from Apaʻa St., as measured along a straight line.
An overflight is scheduled for Monday.
