The heightened effusive-eruptive eruption of the volcano continues.
The lava on the north-northeast flank remains active, feeding the flow that advances slowly through the edifice’s foothills on the northeast. The lava development is well documented in the attached SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) visualization within a (nearly) one-month (6-25 January) time range.
The explosive activity continues from the crater, characterized by grey ash emissions rising to estimated 2,3 km altitude towards the north.
The volcano observatory reported a seismic signal with a maximum amplitude of 47.3 mm and a duration of 113 seconds.
The alert level for the volcano remains at the highest, IV level.
People are advised to avoid an area of about 4 km from the main crater and 5 km in the north-northwest direction, respectively.
