Only sporadic explosive activity occurred, occasionally producing ash plumes that rose a few hundred meters.
Volcanic tremor remains low at similar amplitude as in the past days, but with less and less fluctuations. Lava continues to effuse into the tube system beginning at or near the cone, and is mainly feeding the same flow as in the past days, which emerges onto the surface in the central part and branches off mainly towards the southwest. No significant enlargement of the lava flow field has occurred in the past days.
Other parameters also show a decreasing trend at the moment, including gas emissions, ground deformation and seismic activity. The National Geographic Institute (IGN) reported 32 earthquakes during its latest 24-hour reporting interval. The strongest one was a magnitude 3.6 event at 12:09 UTC at a depth of 37 km.
