The effusive eruption at the volcano continues.
Several lava flow arms, oozing from the flank fissure, continue to be active on the south-southeastern slope of the volcano. Lava hasn’t made it to the ocean yet, and it is still uncertain whether it’ll eventually reach the sea. Otherwise, when lava interacts with water, it does so explosively, forming abundant steam-gas emissions.
Low gas and steam emissions with no ash traces had been dispersed west-southwest.
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions reached to a 46,457 tonnes measured at 01:27 on 3 March/
According to the MIROVA Detection System, a high thermal anomaly (556 MW) was detected in satellite images.
As the volcano is uninhabited, there is no threat to the population.
