The Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) volcano observatory confirmed that the activity at the volcano ended on 13 December at 22:21 local time.
The eruption that started on 19 September, lasted exactly 85 days and 8 hours.
The activity was dominated by strombolian activity and lava-fountaining episodes (paroxysm).
The low-level seismic activity continues including no signs of tremor signals although quakes are not ruled out.
The newly born basaltic scoria cone has reached 1,121 meters altitude with an estimated volume of about 200 million m3 of lava and tephra.
