| View looking uphill at surface flows advancing down the steep slope (Pulama pali) between the east rift zone and the coastal plain. Overflows from the channel on the right are building levees of pahoehoe. Within a few days, crust accreting inward from the levees built a roof over the channel, forming a new lava tube. |
