The effusive activity continues at the fluctuating intensity at the volcano over the past two months, defined by waxed-waned periods of short-term lava flows.
Another sequence of intense spattering activity occurred from the North crater area at 03:10 local time tonight.
This led to another small lava formation, overflowing the crater terrace, but has been only restricted to the upper Sciara del Fuoco. The phenomenon has been observed through the surveillance camera as seen in the attached image.
Weak-to-moderate strombolian-size eruptions continue to take place from the Central-South area and the North crater vents. Glowing lava fragments like basaltic lapilli and bombs have showered the northern flank, resulting in small incandescent avalanches rolling over Sciara del Fuoco.
Seismic recordings detected periods of high amplitude tremor, indicating magma moving upwards through the volcanic conduits.
No significant ground deformation was recorded.
