Photo of the eroded pinnacle on the northern side of the beach to the north of the newly formed volcaniclastic debris flow fan deposit. The pinnacle is made up of an undated lava. When using photo comparisons between pre-eruption and post-eruption photos, this pinnacle marked the late-February 2001 coastal boundary of the beach. The beach portion on the left side of the pinnacle would have been the ocean in February 2001, while from the pinnacle to the right part of the photo would have been the beach at that time. Since this beach has nearly tripled in size since 2001, the pinnacle is now fully landlocked.
