Lava spattering from the west vent in West Gap Pit of Pu`u `O`o
sails over a hornito on the rim of the pit, now filled with
lava. Several flows spilled from the pit down the northwest
flank of Pu`u `O`o, adding yet more lava to the west shield.
The hornito and West Gap Pit were present before this most recent
activity. - USGS photo from
