On 22 April at 00:15 local time Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Darwin recorded emissions of gas, steam and white-gray ash from the active crater which reached approx. 7,000 ft (2,100 m) altitude. Volcanic ash is dispersed towards the northwest and causes ash fall onto the volcano's slopes.
The seismic station records 3 volcano-tectonic earthquakes.
There is a 2 km exclusion zone around the main crater in place.
