The USGS image above shows a close-up of the June 27th lava flow in the area of Kaohe Homesteads and Pāhoa. Although the leading tip of the flow has been stalled for weeks, active breakouts have persisted a short distance upslope of this stalled tip. These breakouts are largely flowing over existing portions of the June 27th flow and have not expanded the flow margins a significant amount.
