The effusive eruption of the volcano continues.

The lava flow continues to feed the new pancake-like lava delta on the east, enlarging the island’s size, as detected in the latest satellite Sentinel-2 imagery from 25 June.

As of this date, the new lava delta covers an area of approximately 0.03 km².
