The steam vents are clearly visible today as the weather is clear. A very minor amount of ash is reported from some of these vents. Results from a gas flight on Thursday show around 2,100 tons per day of sulphur dioxide (SO2) are being emitted from the volcano along with quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) gas. These gases confirm the presence of magma beneath the volcano. Analysis of ash continues to determine whether any of the magma reached the surface and was erupted on Monday night.

Scientists today are undertaking further visual observations and will be collecting gas and water samples from the nearby Ketetahi hot springs. They will be collecting some of the ballistic ejecta from the Ketetahi Hut area to help determine the nature of the erupted products. An ashfall prediction plot is follows for this bulletin should a future eruption occur.
