Following almost three-and-a-half months of total quiescence Etna's New Southeast Crater is again in business.Following mild Strombolian activity that started early on May 12, 2015, the activity diminished on the afternoon of the 13th and then became again more
The seismic monitoring network on Mount Etna detected a rapid increase in volcanic tremors at 06:38 UTC on January 31, 2015, but bad weather conditions prevented direct crater observations.Volcanic tremor at Etna. Image credit: INGV-OE.Red glow visible through the cloud
