There is now a significant Sulphur Dioxide gas being observed on Kadovar.
 
Visual observations from a Rabaul Volcano Observatory (RVO) observer on a boat, indicates the whole island is still receiving significant ash fall.
 
In a situational update from RVO say the fracture running down the summit dome to the coast has apparently widened, with vigorous steaming occurring from it.
 
While there is currently no ground based monitoring, it is anticipated that seismometers will be deployed by Sunday.
 
RVO said that the evacuated population currently on Ruprup Island is to be moved to the mainland, due both the risk from eruption and the logistics of supplying them.
