The effusive eruption of the volcano continues.
A satellite image from 16 January identified that the lava flow, being active from two eruptive fissures, branched off into two lava arms traveling east. The larger (northern) lava tongue didn’t make it to the sea yet, 2 kilometers have been leaving to the ocean entry.

According to MIROVA Detection System, extreme thermal anomalies (14000 MW-17000 MW) continue to detect in satellite images.
