Incandescent hole formed on November 30, 2004 in MLK vent, part of the cluster of vents in the MLK-June 25-Puka Nui complex

at south base of Pu`u `O`o.

Small new hornito, informally known as a carlito, near Kiln hornito near upper end of PKK lava tube. Such features form above a full

tube and make a roaring noise as gas escapes through small openings in the roof of the tube. The hot gas keeps the rock inside the

carlito incandescent. This guy is about 1 m high at most.

Early dawning sky forms backdrop for breakout in west branch of PKK flow at brink of old sea cliff above West Highcastle lava delta.

Width of breakout, about 4 m.

Eye-level view of pahoehoe toe in west finger of west branch. Filaments of crust stretch around bubbles as lava oozes ahead.

Toe is about 10 cm high.
