Kaupulehu Flow

The Ka’ūpūlehu lava flow of 1800 travelled 16 kilometers from the northwest rift zone of the Hualālai Volcano to the Pacific Ocean. The clinker, fragmented, ‘a’ā lava flow is gradually colonized by grasses and ‘ōhi’a trees as windblown soil and seed collects in crevasses. Haleakalā rises above the clouds across the ‘Alenuihāhā channel in the distance.
