Etna volcano, Sicily, Italy: news & activity updates

mié, 1 feb 2023, 15:00 INGV reported that the vents at the NE base of Etna's SE Crater, in the Valle del Leone at about 2,800 m elevation, continued to feed lava flows during 23-29 January, without notable changes compared to the week before. Intense gas emissions rose from Bocca Nuova Crater while gas emissions at Northeast Crater (NEC) and Voragine were minimal. Activity at Southeast Crater was characterized by fumarolic activity localized along the crater rim and from the May-June 2022 eruptive vent which also occasionally produced flashes of incandescence at night.

While several new lava flows were seen on the surface near the vent yesterday, only one of them can still be seen weakly alimented this morning.

Lava effusion progressively decreased during 16-17 January and had possibly ceased by the late afternoon of 17 January. Effusion restarted in the early hours of 18 January, generating two lava flows.

Read all mar, 17 ene 2023, 12:08 According to webcam imagery and the impression of one of our friends, mountain guide on Etna, the lava flow at the southern base of the SE crater has likely stopped. We still wait for official confirmation. Read all vie, 13 ene 2023, 04:30The effusive eruption at the volcano continues. Read all mié, 11 ene 2023, 15:00 INGV reported that the vents at the NE base of Etna's SE Crater, in the Valle del Leone at about 2,800 m elevation, continued to feed lava flows during 2-8 January. The active flow field consisted of overlapping lava flows that expanded into the Valle del Leone and the Valle del Bove and hornitos. By 7 January the longest active lava flow had descended to 2,170 m elevation, and the area of the flow field was an estimated 0.63 square kilometers.
