Lava flows from Puu Oo vent are spreading over the coastal plain in Kalapana and over the weekend entered the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. But the flows are still about a half-mile from the ocean.
從Puu Oo口流出的熔岩擴展至卡拉帕納沿海的平原，及在上週末進入夏威夷火山國家公園，但流量仍距海洋約半英里。
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory released new lava photos taken Monday that show slow-moving breakouts of pahoehoe lava, with the characteristic look of bunched up rope as it cools.
夏威夷火山觀測站發佈拍自星期一的新熔岩照片，顯示繩狀熔岩層的熔岩慢移的包圍突破，帶着特點當它冷卻時看來像揉成的繩子。
Other photos released in the last month show how the lava has been spreading on the plain, rather than moving directly to the south, toward the ocean.
上月其它公佈的照片顯示，熔岩已蔓延至平原，而不是直接移向南部走向海洋。
The plain is below the Pulama Pali and the Royal Gardens subdivision.
平原是在Pulama巴利和皇家園林分部之下。
The observatory also released video and thermal images showing the summit lava lake rising at Halemaumau Crater.
A glow from the lava lake illuminates the gas plume coming from the vent at night. The lava level rises and falls as the volcano goes through inflation and deflation cycles. The lake level is about 230 feet below the floor of Halemaumau Crater.
