④ 斜面に形成された舌状ローブ 1991年11月15日
 1日に40万mものマグマの供給で、溶岩ドームは、火口から溢れて、東斜面に垂れ下がるように成長を始めた。このように斜面に成長する場合は、半溶岩流(舌状ローブlobe)となる。ローブは長くて数百mに達すると噴出孔を替えて別の場所から噴出を始めた。この第4ローブは9月中旬からほぼ3か月間で400mの長さに成長して停止した。右側に、1663年に噴出した古焼溶岩流が見える。その中の円いくぼみが溶岩トンネルの天井が落ちてできた穴である。

With a daily supply of 400,000 cubic meters of magma, the lava dome began overflowing from the crater, initiating growth that cascaded down the eastern slope. When growth occurs on a slope in this manner, it results in a semi-fluid lava flow known as a lobe. As the lobe extended, reaching several hundred meters in length, it redirected the eruption from a different location.
This fourth lobe, which started in mid-September, grew to a length of 400 meters over the course of almost three months before coming to a halt. On the right side, the ancient lava flow from the 1663 eruption is visible, with circular depressions representing holes formed when the ceiling of lava tunnels collapsed.
