The filmer later wrote online: "Since august 7, on the east flank of Voragine crater, new activity started by a pit crater located at 3,280 metres.
"During the afternoon and night of august 10 ... this vent [was] emitting a big quantity of gas and a temperature over 700C."
"All the summit area is unstable and these kind of signals are the most important after the last eruption occurred in May 2016," he continued.
