Kilauea Volcano lava flows on June 15, 2002

Here are some evening pictures of the slow lava flows that are seen after Mother's Day new lava flow in Hawaii (Big Island) Volcano Park, at the end of the Chain of Craters road. The lava is advancing a few meters per minute and then stalls. More up to date info and pictures can be found in http://wwwhvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/
