• Mount Etna’s Northeast Crater erupts for the first time in 28 years, Italy

    ByTeo Blašković

    Two paroxysmal eruptions occurred at Mount Etna’s Northeast Crater on December 27, 2025, marking the first major eruptive episode from this crater in almost 28 years. The events produced lava fountains up to 500 m (1 640 feet), eruptive columns rising over 10 km (6 miles) above sea level, and a short lava flow from the nearby Voragine Crater. Activity gradually declined by December 28, with continued strombolian explosions and weak effusion.

  • Strong explosive activity at Etna opens new vent feeding lava flow toward Valle del Bove, Italy

    Etna’s eruptive activity intensified rapidly between December 24 and 27, 2025, culminating in short-lived lava fountains about 200 m (650 feet) high and a new lava flow from the upper Voragine crater toward the Valle del Bove. INGV Etna Observatory (OE) raised the Aviation Color Code to Red on December 27 as tremor and infrasound amplitudes reached very high levels.

  • Lava overflow observed at Stromboli’s North Crater area, Italy

    A lava overflow started from Stromboli’s North Crater area at around 10:00 UTC (11:00 LT) on November 9, 2025, feeding a lava flow on the upper Sciara del Fuoco. The activity, observed by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) through surveillance cameras, was accompanied by modest but continuous spattering from at least two vents in the North Crater area.

  • Campi Flegrei sees renewed seismic activity with multiple tremors

    ByHarsh Vardhan

    A swarm of earthquakes struck Italy’s Campi Flegrei region early Thursday, June 5, 2025, starting at 04:39 UTC. At least nine tremors were recorded within hours, the strongest reaching magnitude 3.2. The activity adds to growing concerns in an area already showing long-term signs of volcanic unrest.
