The effusive eruption of the volcano continues.
The lava flow on the south-southwestern flank remains active and continues to advance towards the shoreline, currently about 2,7 km from the ocean entry.
Once the lava interacts with water, it does so explosively, forming abundant steam-gas emissions, so called laze (lava haze).
According to the MIROVA Detection System, a very high thermal anomaly (1037 MW) was detected in satellite images yesterday.
As the volcano is uninhabited, there is no threat to the population.
