Lava entered this cataract from the west and flowed for some distance, but the flow terminates before joining the main south Kasei lava flow. Does the flow show signs of significant deflation (i.e., does it drape topography?). If there was a high but short peak flux here, the flow could have deflated significantly as the pulse went down the channel. A lack of deflation would suggest a lower but maybe steadier flux.
