Scientists are using satellites and helicopters to map lava flows from the Mauna Loa volcano, and say they're seeing the lava continue its slow progress across the Big Island.
The Mauna Loa on the island of Hawaii, which is the world's largest active volcano, has erupted for the first time in 38 years.
Officials were initially concerned that lava flowing down the side of the volcano would head toward the South Kona district.
