The effusive eruption of the volcano continues characterized by the actively growing lava dome.
On 19 March the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre (UWI-SRC) monitored the volcano by drone to detect of physical changes of the new lava dome.
The central active vent continues to feed the growing lava dome in north-west and south-east direction. The extruded lava dome is currently about 105 m tall, 243 m wide and 921 long (511 m on 4 Feb) with a volume of 13.13 million cubic meters (5.93 million cubic meters on 4 Feb). Its length and volume is almost twice since the last update on 4 February.
The observations confirmed ongoing sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions concentrated on the top of the new dome as well as at the contact with the 1979 lava dome.

"We are having earth movements at the moment so it's a matter of time!
Interesting.
