Lava on the pali and below. Activity at ocean entries is in limbo, so eyes turn inland. Top: Two levels of surface lava. In upper right, two open channels pour down steepest part of Pulama pali. In lower left, single cascade descends Paliuli, about 20-25 m high. Channels on Pulama pali are about 1.6 km behind cascade on Paliuli and 250 m higher. Some lava in Pulama channels ends up at Paliuli cascade; rest coats surface above pali. 0522.  Bottom: Trickle of lava down Paliuli feeds stubby `a`a flow (foreground) and extensive inflating pahoehoe.
