Weak ash emissions were seen from the vent of the volcano's 2012 lava dome in the central crater; the alert level was raised from 1 (green) to 3 (orange). ...more The eruption consisted in a phase of passive (without significant explosions) ash venting starting at about 11:50 local time. The activity produced a whitish-gray plume of fine ash that rose a few hundred meters and was blown by strong winds to the east where it formed a narrow plume several tens of kilometers long.

The volcanic alert level was raised to 3 and aviation color code to Orange. ...more Since the eruption, the volcano has returned to quiet / normal activity and the alert level was again lowered to 2 (although aviation color code remains orange for the time being as other explosions could occur). The eruption covered about 80% of the crater's surface and the northern and southern crater walls with fine ash. It had been preceded by a slight increase in seismic activity, but SO2 gas emissions had been unchanged. During a visit last week, it had been observed that the level of the acid crater lake had fallen by approx. 2 meters, indicating significant evaporation, and / or greater infiltration.
