This article is also available in : French English
Rupture in progress on January 14, 2017.
According to informants on the spot (Paama), the visible activity of the volcano is limited for the moment to a white plume, sometimes gray, of moderate development.
At the end of November 2016, during an expedition, we observed at the base of the southeast summit cone, the recently "grilled" vegetation and a fairly intense smoldering activity.

Fumololles in the northwest adventitious crater show a magmatic rise.
The thermal camera reveals fractures where the volcanic gases rise.
At the level of the collar between the main south-east crater and the northwestern adventive cone, intense smoking activity.
