The eruptive activity of the volcano continues.
Near-frequent and sporadic strong vulcanian-type explosions occur from its summit crater. At about 13:00 local time, an increasingly spectacular dense ash plume was seen rising from the crater. A height of the ash plume is unknown so far, and was not reported neither the VAAC Darwin nor the PVMBG volcano observatory.
f the flux of magma continues to accumulate in the volcano’s conduit, a likelihood of higher magnitude explosive eruption increases associated with glowing lava bombs, lapilli and dense ash emissions within a 4.5 km radius from the Verbeek Crater.
The alert level for the volcano remains at Level III (Siaga) since 11 January.
