A new eruptive period started at the volcano several days ago.
On May 27 at 04:06 local time, a surtseyan-type explosion occurred from the crater lake, ejecting dark masses of tephra approximately 300 meters above the lake. Dense white-to-grey emissions rose about 500 meters above the edifice and drifted west.
At approx. 03:58 local time this morning, another eruption took place from the crater lake.
The PVMBG volcano observatory reported seismic signals with a maximum amplitude of 28 and 30 mm and a duration of
130 and 39 seconds.
