The effusive-explosive eruption of the volcano continues and has remained essentially unchanged since the last report.
Near-constant vulcanian explosions continue to take place from the summit vent that reached 15,000 ft-17,000 ft (4,600 m-5,200 m) altitude and drifted west-southwest direction.
Emissions of incandescent from the crater can be partially seen in a satellite image from yesterday (14 August) as visibility was very limited due to dense clouds and ash emissions. The incandescent is likely associated with the descending lava flow over the northeastern flank, but due to poor visibility is difficult to judge if is still active or not.
