June 29, 2017 New Lava Skylights
New skylights, a gorgeous pahoehoe flow above the Pali, and an ocean entry lava delta getting huge! Paradise pilot Rob Mitchell got us up close and personal with Pele. The 61G surface flows remain active both on the surface and throughout the tube system. Pele’s molten lava continues to pour into the ocean at Kamokuna… her flows rapidly rebuilding the bench… well over three acres big now, huge cracks near the sea cliffs belie its longevity. Fourth of July Ducky (on his solo flight), Special Guest Jarrod Mosier, Bruce Omori and I had an epic overflight! Paradise Helicopters no ka oi… mahalo plenty, Rob!
Mahalo to Paradise Helicopters and Bruce Omori at Extreme Exposure
