Francesco Tomarchio sent us a small selection of his photos he took during the remarkable and very powerful lava fountaining episode from Etna's New SE crater on 31 July-1 Aug 2021.

Unusually good weather and wind conditions allowed our group on the recent tour to Etna and Stromboli to make a complete loop around Etna's summit craters on 11 Oct 2014.

Etna had one of her largest paroxysms in recent years during 10-11 November 2013 during which she produced intense lava fountains and rivers of lava. However, being a capricious Sicilian woman, she only let people see the very beginning and the end of it, and hid herself in a large snow storm during the main phase of the eruption.
Tom and Ingrid faced strong the winds and cold from a viewpoint on Valle del Bove in order to observe the (still spectacular) strombolian activity at the New SE crater that preceded and followed the main phase of the eruption, as well as a surprise: some of the most beautiful smoke rings ever (see separate gallery).

Emanuela was, as usual, the first to arrive on the scene of the beginning New SE crater paroxysm during 16-18 June. She was later joined by Tom Pfeiffer with his group in the morning of 16 June.

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. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

The 16th paroxysm of Etna's New SE crater occurred during the night 16-17 Nov 2013. Its peak phase with strong pulsating lava fountains was between midnight and 5 am. After taking a plane that arrived in Catania at 23:00, Tom hurried up the mountain and was lucky to be able to assist the main phase of the eruption from close-up. For videos, click here.

(more videos | more photos)After the violent paroxysm during 10-11 Nov 2013, the New SE crater continued to produce regular explosions, and, to our great surprise, we could observe during the afternoon of 11 Nov, that it often made fantastic vortex rings (steam rings or "smoke rings") that were blown eastward by strong Ponente.
Most likely, the eruption had changed the morphology of the vent into a way (into a particularly well circularly shaped form?) that allowed it to produce this rare phenomenon. And being Etna, she exaggerates: not only one ring every now and then, but she made dozens if not hundreds during a few hours, often in a row. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

The onset of the new subterminal flank eruption followed by a private evening excursion to the active fissure. Our two customers had booked a summit tour several months before, and were lucky to be able to observe the active lava flow from close up.

Etna volcano 2006 activity

[απόκρυψη]

The lava flow that started on 13 October 2006 had largely crusted over by early Nov., but there was a beautiful skylight near the vent that underwent considerable changes during our visit in the first week of November, including a wonderful display of spattering on the afternoon of 8 Nov. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

$Since 27 October, a new fracture has opened west of SE crater on the southern flank of the summit crater and several times since then, large lava flows were emitted from vents on this fracture at around 3050 m elevation. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)$

$On 6 November, another vent opened on the fracture system west of SE crater, just above the 3050 m vent. Its activity was characterized by intense spattering and explosive activity throwing bombs to 200 m height. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)$

One week of activity culminated in a paroxysm of SE crater, i.e. strong, near-continuous strombolian activity (almost lava fountains). At the same time, several vents opened up on the W flank of the SE crater, including the 3050 m vents and one vent in the saddle between the SE crater and the Voragine. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)
