Satellite imagery has confirmed that the Nabro volcano in north east Africa is no longer emitting ash, sulphur dioxide or water vapor.

The Eritrean stratovolcano has been spewing ash continuously since it erupted for the time in its recorded history on June 12 last.  

During the 16-day period much of northern Ethiopia and parts of neighbouring Djibouti and Sudan have been affected by the ash cloud, which  also disrupted air traffic in the region.

The below image from Modis, captured at 11am (GMT) on Thursday reveals that eruption activity at the volcano has ceased.  

This is also confirmed by the Toulouse-based Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC).
