The effusive eruption at the volcano continues. A new lava flow started to emerge from the northern flank vent. It currently advances towards the northern coast, likely covering the surfaces created by previous lava flows.
The lava flow that had earlier formed the new lava platform on the northern coastline seems to have stopped being active.
