The effusive activity of the volcano continues.

A satellite imagery from 25 February confirms that the lava continues to ooze out onto the S-SE slopes and keeps the flow active.

According to MIROVA Detection System, a high thermal anomaly (896 MW) was detected in the satellite image today.

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions reached to a 83 tonnes/day on 3 March.
