Volcanologists published the first image of a lava sample from the current eruption at the volcano. The lava is of basaltic composition containing phenocrysts of plagioclase and pyroxene.
Basalt is a fine-grained, mafic igneous rock characterized by lower viscosity and lower gas content related to hawaiian and strombolian eruptions.

Impressive lava fountains continue to shoot into the sky from the four eruptive fissures feeding lava flowing slowly towards the coast.
Several lava flows form a spreading field of lava which has currently covered 1.54 square km by 21 September.
185 buildings have been already destroyed and more than 5,700 persons evacuated.
