The new eruption at the volcano continues. The first explosion which began yesterday evening seems to have lasted several hours and it’s ash plume is extending approx. 1000 km towards the east of the volcano.

A short pause or drop in ash emissions occurred around 03:00 UTC, followed by a second explosion starting around 03:30, producing a second but slightly smaller (although still very significant) plume also estimated to have reached 43,000 ft (13 km) altitude as Tokyo VAAC reported. This phase is likely still going on.
