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
Significant ash emissions are being observed at Italy's Mount Etna today. At 07:13 UTC, Toulouse VAAC reported ash emissions that started at 06:25 UTC are below 4.5 km.Aviation Color Code has been raised to Red.The following timelapse video by Turi Caggegi shows
On Sunday, December 28, 2014 Italy's Etna volcano produced a brief but the most intense eruption of the year, the strongest since December 2, 2013.The activity started rather abruptly at about 16:50 UTC and has rapidly intensified, accompanied by a sudden increase o
A new vent opened yesterday morning at 09:14 UTC at Etna volcano, Italy. The new vent is located about 150 – 200 metres north of the two previous vents at the eastern base of the NE crater.Its activity is characterized by small strombolian explosions while a lava f
A violent phase of explosive/effusive activity began at Mount Etna early on June 15, 2014. Strombolian activity at the New SE crater and volcanic tremor started to increase on the evening of June 14. Airport authorities had to redirect flights to other airport
Mild, persistent strombolian activity is continuing at Etna's New Southeast Crater (NSEC) from the same two eruptive vents within the crater that have been active over the past few days.
Lava emission continues from an effusive vent located within the
Etna's New Southeast Crater began its 20th paroxysm of the year late on December 14. It ended at dawn of December 15, shortly after reaching its peak.
Although the eruption was relatively long, it was weaker than its spectacular previous paroxysm.
Since the late afternoon of December 2, 2013, vigorous strombolian activity was taking place at Etna's New Southeast Crater. This activity was accompanied by a gradual increase in the volcanic tremor amplitude. A dilute eruptive plume composed mostly
Spectacular lava bubbles over the New SE crater announced 18th paroxysm of Mt. Etna in Italy. The eruption continues to increase and there are now at least 2 vents producing lava fountains. A tall ash plume triggered the temporary airspace closure over
Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano, has erupted again, less than a week from it's last eruption. In the morning of November 23, 2013 the 17th paroxysmal eruptive episode occurred at the cinder cone east of Etna's Southeast Crater. Continuous
