| Practically silent ash eruption from crater 3. In the evenings almost no glowing lava was seen during such eruptions. 
 
 | Contrary to crater 3 eruptions from crater 1 produced little ash but lots of glowing lava.

 | Small but neat eruption from crater 1 (telephoto). 
 
 | Afterwards glowing scoria lie on the crater rim and weak continuous scoria ejection continues. 
 
 | A powerful fumarole on the edge of crater 1 is clearly seen against the bright eruption.
