Examples of Pahoehoe flow features
The pahoehoe flow is transitioning into an 'A'a flow. Tubular features can be seen as well where the lava hardened above and below the tube, yet lava continued to flow within. Rope-like textures can be seen. Amorphous silica can also be found abundantly within these tubular features.
