Top: Aerial view looking southwestward across one of the lava breakouts (shiny gray and red surface) produced when magma from Pu`u `O`o reentered the tube system following a brief pause in the eruption. The lava channel spreading from the skylight in the tube (lower right) is feeding an `a`a flow that moves down Pulama pali (left) out of view.
Bottom: Lava moves through trees in one of the many kipuka created by the Pu`u `O`o-Kupaianaha eruption. Following many of the eruptive pauses in 1998 and 1999, breakouts repeatedly sent flows into several kipuka, sometimes completely covering them with lava.
