Morning overflight photos from Mauna Loa, by Andrew Hara

special thanks to Paradise Helicopters "The flows have been advancing at a rate of 0.08 miles per hour (130 meters per hour) over the last day, but they are approaching a relatively flat area and will begin to slow down, spread out, and inflate. Forecasts indicate it may take two days for lava flows to reach Saddle Road." ~ USGS
