It seems in the last few minutes, there is a lot more activity in the section of the film, toward the left front.

That only had occasional flames (actually molten rocks) showing earlier.

Now however there seems to be much more activity in that forward section.

Not sure if that is showing a movement of lava, or what that is about.

The main activity behind that is actually lower than it was, but up front there seems to be more, at least at the moment.

The activity fluctuates all the time. At times, we can see the lava river flowing. Beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

I don't know if you were able to watch this afternoon but they panned the camera to the left for a short time. I was stunned to see the difference in the landscape around fissure 17, which I posted a scap of in post #17 last night. The cinder cone is massive now. I'd read that it had died down but it's still plenty active, throwing lava and lava bombs as much as it did last week.

When they panned back to the right towards fissure 22, I got a scap of the plume rising from the ocean where the lava is flowing into it.

And this shot of 22 gives a better idea of how far away the guys are from it.
