"Since around 4:00 am this morning the level of volcanic tremor has significantly increased at the island," the agency said in a statement. "The situation remains highly uncertain as to future activity. Eruptions in the next 24 hours are still likely to occur."

A plume of smoke could be seen coming from the island on Wednesday morning.
