Brief update on Isaac Hale Park, the lava, and the carvings contained therein.

The lava has slowed considerably thereby leaving the core of the park somewhere between 200' to 500' from lava. For the time being it seems that the carvings, parking lot, and boat ramp remain intact although still threatened. Lava has covered some parts of Isaac Hale park. It's not unusual for eruptions to slow and then re-start. It's been a nail-biter and will continue to keep us in suspense for a while longer.

The park and surrounding areaa are closed due to a number of hazards. Daily overflights and photos from a couple agencies are keeping an eye on the western-most lobe of the flow, the park and boat ramp, and the new delta which is being extended further out into the ocean.
