According to the Observatório Vulcanológico de Cabo Verde (OVCV) measurements of SO² emissions in the last 4 days put close that the eruptions below Pico do Fogo may be regarded as finished.

Cabo Verde: São Nicolau 1 : 50000: Wanderkarte 27.11.2014 (Directly from Fogo)
On 23.11.2014 at 10 am in the morning, there was a volcanic eruption below the Pico de Fogo. The eruption occurred approximately at the location of the outbreak of 1995, at the Pico Pequeno. The island was evacuated and the Cha blocked for some time. The lava flowed in two directions: on the one in the direction of the entrance to the Caldeira, of the other in the direction of the village Portela. The first homes have already been destroyed, including the 2014 newly built visitor center, approximately 300 meters before the village. Nowadays it is possible to drive into the entrance of the Caldeira and see the unique natural spectacle. At the moment is not yet known when the eruption stops. It is to be hoped that the current vulnerable place Portela remains intact. The previous messages in the media about the destruction of the place are partially wrong or exaggerated. 23/02/2014
