At the vents, a lava flow continued to be active and explosions at the upper vents produce pulsating fountains with strong ash emissions. The ash plume has been rising nearly vertically today due to the absence of winds, reaching an altitude of approx. 4000 m.
The advance of the lava flows has slowed somewhat. The northern flow front, west of Montagna La Laguna and directed westwards, has been advancing at rates of approx. 15 m per hour and is now close to or already at the coastal cliff.
Deformation shows a trend of deflation at the station closest to the eruptive center, suggesting that the output of lava now exceeds supply of it from depth. This could be seen as a first sign the eruption likely has passed its peak.
