Two days ago, the series of flows into the ocean stopped. Lava production of about 4.9 cubic meters/second continues at the vent, but apparently the lava tube system somehow became blocked. It's likely that one or more surface flows will re-commence, perhaps up near the 1,000' elevation or so. However, in the meantime the most visible part of the (48th stage) of the eruption seems to be over. -- Bob Cunningham bob@loihi.homexamK'*blesD
