CONT

Le phénomène scientifique le plus remarquable et qui suivit la première phase de l'éruption fut la formation d'une aiguille de lave andésitique, véritable extrusion de matière solide sous la force pressante du magma. La hauteur atteinte par l'aiguille au-dessus du dôme dépassa 400 m; puis l'aiguille s'écroula progressivement.
