This view is northwest across the coastal plain of Kilauea Volcano. Lava flows about 11 km through tubes from Pu`u `O`o (skyline) down Pulama pali and across the coastal flat into the sea. The largest steam plume (lower right) is near the former Waha`ula Visitor Center and Heiau, covered by lava in 1989 and 1997, respectively.
