This helicopter view shows basalt lava gradually overwhelming native forest near Halina pali vent, Mauna Loa. The fresh, unweathered a'a levées of this active flow are distinctly darker than the lava terrain over which they have flowed. Sinuous streams of red-hot lava wind their way across the central portions of the flow.
