The effusive eruption of the volcano continues.

According to the latest available imagery from 21 January seems that the lava flow has stopped or at least decreased its advance in comparison to the satellite image from 16 January. Visibility of the eruptive phase was very limited due to dense clouds, but the discharge rate of this flow seems lower compared to the previous rate.

According to MIROVA Detection System, high thermal anomalies (4000 MW) continue to detect in satellite images.
