The activity of the volcano continues at stable levels.
The latest image from a local observer depicts night-time glowing steam and gas emissions with small amounts of ash. This confirms the small lava pond within the summit crater continues to be active, characterized by a delicate equilibrium between incoming and consumption of magma.
The gas-ash plume rose about 120 meters above the vent.
The Argentine Volcanic Surveillance Observatory (OAVV) recorded a long-period earthquake at 01:30 local time yesterday.
