No lava flows are observed from satellite (image: Sentinel 2)
As the satellite image from 12 August shows, no lava flows are observed. Incandescence continues to be observed from the summit crater and caused weak to moderate avalanches of material towards the Seca, Taniluya, Ceniza, Trinidad and Las Lajas direction.
INSIVUMEH recorded weak to moderate strombolian-type explosions at regular intervals of 4 to 6 per hour that generated a grey ash plume which reached approx. 14,763-15,419 ft (4,500-4,700 m) altitude. The plumes drifted towards the west and southwest direction.
