A lava flow crossed the former Kalapana road around 1:45 am on 23rd October, 2009, at Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. The lava flow stopped moving by afternoon, but the road continued to burn, igniting trees in the surrounding kipuka. The lava flows remained active Saturday afternoon and were advancing in a southeast direction from the road in the kipuka between the 1989 Quarry flow, where a Public Viewing Area and trail was established.
