Difficult to guage but here's a commentary on the  current 3d model

drat the lava went over the saddle and i missed it in the fog.

Missing lava in the fog is probably a good idea.

 

Not so many visitors it seems either.

somebody went up onto the cone, must have gotten pretty toasty there :-

Time compressed long distance camera work can be deceptive at the best of times so it's not quite clear what's happening here.

 

What is definite is another change in viscosity and timing. This has lead to more inundations of the path and a temporary closure of the access carparks for a rethink.

Today tourist viewing of the main main cone has been lost to a great degree with the exception of the helicopter rides.

 

Some excellent ground footage shows just how fast things are changing with flow rates still rising.

nar does seem to be putting out a lot of lava at the moment, only a matter of time before it gets to the sea.

.Poor visibilty today but activity up a touch more and was continuous overnight prompting one regular that it felt like the cone had a mimd of it's own.
