The new Lava Pond is a very interesting feature and allows the newest flow to go over existing flows,no forest to slow her down.
Once she passes the higher new ridge of 2007,she will broaden out as she is channelized now,she is on old flows mostly pahoehoe so her forward progress is quick.
She has made the newer flows,so she can travel faster,creating a new path and pali in her ways down to the ocean .She is still far north of the rift,it is an interesting new flow with plenty room to spare .
In our experience,each new layer of Pele is approx 30 feet thick,flow after flow creates a new pali .
On the N.W. side of Mauna Ulu approx 3/4s of the way up,is an old lava pond feature and Mauna Ulu has every feature of Pele known .
Great new map and photo's.
Life is a Blessing
