Though the alert level has been decreased to Level 2 (or what I call Volcano DefCon 3) the activity still goes on. Harmonic tremors still are the order of the day, and there was a steam event this morning. The news reporting also continues.
The south side of the crater floor, between the dome and the crater wall, as bulged upward about two hundred and fifty feet, one hundred of that coming in the last 48 hours. Seismic activity has decreased mainly because the magma has done most of its work in clearing out the old cold rocks.
The bulging in the crater does somewhat remind me of the seemingly endless growing bulge on the north side of the old peak in the two-month runup to the 1980 blow.
