Fifth paroxysm in seven days

Etna erupted again last night, the fifth eruption in a week. It generated lava jets up to a thousand metres high above the South-East crater. The activity produced an eruptive column that rose several kilometres above the top of the mountain. At the same time, two small lava flows formed, one in the direction of the desert Bove Valley and the other in a south-westerly direction.

Etna: South-East Crater: new paroxysmal activity

A new paroxysmal activity occurred yesterday morning on Etna. In this case too, it affected the South East Crater, where high lava fountains appeared. The new phenomenon was preceded by a lava overflow, with the flow then heading towards the deserted Valle del Bove.

The eruptive cloud produced by the explosive activity then dispersed in an east-southeast direction causing ash fallout.
