The level of Fuego activity remains high, with 5-8 moderate to high explosions per hour, accompanied by ash plumes at 4,500-4,700 meters asl. dispersing to the west and southwest. Fine ashes fell among others on the villages of Panimache I, Morelia, Santa Sofia, and El Porvenir.
Incandescent pulsatile emissions rise 200-250 m above the crater and generate block avalanches around the crater.

At Öræfajökull, the situation is "far from normal," according to volcanologist Ármann Höskuldsson.
The cauldron deepened by about twenty meters, following the rising geothermal heat, and the crevices already present have widened. The images of RAX / Ragnar Axelsson taken on November 19 and 28 confirm the situation.
Ingibjörg Jónsdóttir from the University of Iceland reports that the morphology of the cauldron is more like a drop of water that extends to the southwest than to a circle as previously observed.
The seismicity of the last days is characterized by many small earthquakes of magnitude less than 2.
