An E-flank fissure located 5 km from the summit produced an incandescent lava flow during 10-14 May 1978 that traveled 6 km to the Pandi River. Explosive activity took place from the summit crater of Ulawun over 7-13 May, accompanied by pyroclastic flows from a fissure high on the SE flank on 9 May. At least a dozen vents were active during this eruption. 
A line of lava fountains rises above a fissure on the lower East Rift Zone of Kīlauea in January 1960. The eruption originated near the village of Kapoho, which was overrun by lava flows. Lava flows traveled to the coast, reaching the ocean along a broad front.
A 19-hour eruption of Kīlauea began on 30 April 1982, from fissures east of Halema’uma’u crater. This view from the north shows lava spatter feeding a lava flow two hours after the start of the eruption. Spatter ramparts of the 1964 eruption are partly buried by 1982 spatter.
