Three closely spaced lava fountains at fissure 8 continue to feed a channelized flow trending north and then east to the ocean entry at Kapoho Bay.
This video is from a Hawaiian Volcano Observatory helicopter overflight of the braided lava channel at around 6:30 a.m. HST on June 11, 2018.
Minor overflows of the channel levees have occurred at several places along the channel, but have been short-lived and do not pose an immediate threat to areas not previously covered by lava.
