USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) scientists conducted a helicopter overflight of the June 27th lava flow today and mapped its perimeter. At the time of the flight, the leading tips of the two active lobes were inactive, but several small breakouts across the interior and edges of the lobes were active. The leading edges of two lobes have not advanced downslope in the past several days. Other breakouts were observed in the areas just upslope and downslope of the True/Mid-Pacific well pad about 7.5 to 9 km (4.7 to 5.6 mi) from the lowermost lobe tip, and along the tube in an area 2 to 3 km (1.2 to 1.9 mi) downslope from Puʻu ʻŌʻō.
Daily updates about Kīlauea's ongoing eruptions, recent images and videos of summit and East Rift Zone volcanic activity, and data about recent earthquakes are posted on the HVO Web site at http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/.
