On 18 March the Vanuatu Geohazards Observatory(VGO)
reported that eruptive activity at Ambae's Lake Voui during February-March was similar to activity observed
at the end of October 2017, but with more sustained ash emissions from explosions at the vent.
The immediate impacts of Manaro Voui craters current activity,
which is generating a lot of ash fall, has been contamination of drinking water, failure of crops, impacts to livestock, and roof collapse on houses due to the weight of the ash.
The image(below), taken from a different angle on 21 April 2018, shows that ash emissions have now ceased, although steam/ volcanic gas emissions persist,
and that Lake Voui has now separated in two due to the growth of the eruption cone.
