Cartoon indicating the mode of compound lava field evolution between October 2011 and January 2012, illustrating the localized nature of breakout extrusion at lava margins and various stages in the evolution of breakouts from slabby to rubbly lava. Much of the lava margin comprises a collage of lava breakouts of different ages and varying maturity.
