The effusive-explosive eruption of the volcano continues.
Lava flows continue to be active on the SE flank.
Near-frequent vulcanian eruptions continue to generate ash columns sending pyroclastic material to approx. 6,1 to 6,7 km (20,000 ft-22,000 ft) height. Most of the ejected hot, juvenile and glowing material slid down along the southeastern flank in the form of incandescent avalanches.
Satellite-based measurements of SO2 concentrations were detected in plumes of about 690 tonnes yesterday.
