The explosive eruption from the volcano persists.
Several vigorous vulcanian-type ash jets have taken place from the cinder cone’s crater by 07:00 PM local time today. Eruptions occurred at roughly regular intervals in an approx. range between 1-3 hours. Ash-abundant grey-to-black ash columns, containing fine ash tephra, rose to estimated elevations of about 757 meters, 957 meters and 1157 meters, respectively. Explosive events lasted 28, 46 and 74 seconds.
At 06:40 PM local time, a strong glow was identified in the webcam image, confirming the presence of juvenile lava material such as lapilli-to-bomb scoria.
The warning bulletin states a 5 km exclusion zone around the main crater in place.
