(CNN) — Two of the three main lava channels from the volcanic eruption on Hawaii’s Big Island have merged to create only two entry points into the Pacific Ocean, according to USGS scientist Jim Kauahikaua.
Fissure 22 split into two flow lines on Thursday, but came back together later in the day.
Fissure 7 is producing the largest amount of lava, according to USGS volcanologist Wendy Stovall.
