The effusive-explosive eruption of the volcano continues.

Near-constant vulcanian explosions continue to take place from the summit vent that reached 15,000 ft (4,600 m) altitude and drifted west and northwest direction.

The lava flow continues to be active on the northern flank and slowly advancing downslope.
