The volcano institute in Catania (INGV Catania) reported that weak effusive (lava flow) activity has resumed from the vent previously located at 510 m above sea level on the Sciara del Fuoco. The vent migrated a bit downhill and is now at 485 m above sea level while the lava flow front had been about 200 m above the coast in the early afternoon. Blocks detaching from the lava front often roll towards the coastline and reach the sea.
