Etna volcano: New SE crater eruption 15-16 June 2014

At the end of our recent tour to Stromboli, Vulcano and Etna, Etna decided to make us a special present: a new eruption from the New SE crater. It started very similar to a paroxysm, but did not reach the intensity to produce true lava fountains. Instead, the eruption continued for several days with intense strombolian activity and the effusion of lava flows traveling east into the Valle del Bove.

The volcano's summit mostly shredded in thick clouds, it presents a winter-like appearance from Nicolosi. The eruption continues with little variation at the NSEC. As a precaution, the Catania airport was briefly closed, but as it turned out, the eruption never escalated into a paroxysm with lava fountains and associated ash plumes. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)
