The effusive eruption at Home Reef volcano shows no signs of slowing, with lava steadily oozing from the summit vent towards the north-northeast according a report by Volcano Discovery.
The ongoing flow continues to enlarge the new lava delta, expanding the island’s size significantly. Recent Sentinel-2 satellite imagery highlights the island’s growth between December 7 and January 1.
The volcanic activity, characterized by steady lava effusion, has drawn interest from geologists and environmental observers.
Home Reef’s eruptions are known to alter the topography of the surrounding area, contributing to the creation of temporary landmasses in the ocean.
Authorities and researchers are closely monitoring the site to track further developments.
