Elevated activity continues. The hornito at the western rim of the SE crater showed strong continuous spattering today. Beneath it, a small lava flow issued from an effusive vent through a breach in the northern outer flank of the SE crater cone and traveled about half way down the Sciara del Fuoco.
The flow was active for a few hours, and mostly cooling in the afternoon / evening, but weak lava effusion from the vent continued. Glowing blocks detached frequently from the flow front at about 400 m elevation as well as from the vent and rolled down the slope, sometimes into the sea.
Strong bursts of liquid lava bubbles from the NE cone occurred about every 30-40 minutes, as well as normal strombolian, jet-like eruptions from the NW vent.
