The explosive activity at the volcano continues with near-frequent small to moderate ash emissions and intermittent larger vulcanian-type eruptions.
According to the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Washington, ash column heights have ranged between 6,7 and 7,6 km altitude over the past few days and drifted in the east-southeast direction.
The MOUNTS system registered a flux of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions which reached 1796 tonnes on 20 January.
