We are facing a strombolian fissural volcanic event, which means that the different emission centers that are happening do so along a fissure, in this case in a northwest-southeast direction, in which a series of emitting centers appear that can be turned off and new ones appear or even reappearing those already extinguished...Morcuende insisted that it is a "typical" eruption of the archipelago and that, although during the day of this Friday there was a significant increase in the energy of the eruption, "it follows the usual canons", which does not exclude dangerousness, so he emphasized the need to take extreme precautions.
He explained that in the afternoon / night of yesterday, on the northwest face of the crater there was the opening of two emitting centers, which have been merged into a single mouth, where a new stream has been flowing that has been distributed above the previous [lava], which has its end in the neighborhood of Todoque.
"This new casting," he continued, "has been very fluid because it comes from more interior parts of the [conduit] and is at a higher temperature until it starts to cool on the surface and starts to slow down."
At the moment, there is a lava emitting center that is above Montaña Rajada, an emission that had been working the first days and that stopped emitting. "It does not cause us concern but we are following it," he said.
