a A few months after the generation and propagation of the 10 February 2022 PDCs, showing the deep scar formed in the southern flank of the cone. b The SEC a few weeks before the start of the paroxysmal activity at the VOR crater, showing the scar only partially filled mainly by lavas and minor tephra deposits. c The scar cloaked and hidden by the accumulation of tephra fallout after only four lava fountain episodes at the VOR crater. It is also evident that both the 2022 PDC and the following lava were also entirely mantled and obscured by thick tephra deposits. Photos by D. Andronico.
