Etna (Italy) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 8 December-14 December 2021

mié, 15 dic 2021, 06:42

INGV reported that during 6-12 December activity at Etna was characterized by gas emissions from all summit craters and ash emissions from Southeast Crater (SEC); weather conditions prevented views during most of the week. During 6-7 December Strombolian activity at SEC produced almost continuous ash emissions that dispersed ENE. On 8 December the ash emissions were diffuse and discontinuous, and dissipated near the summit. Read all

The activity at the New SE crater has been increasing, with dense ash columns rising to estimated 20,000 / 6 km altitude or more. At the same time, volcanic tremor has been increasing as well. It looks likely that the volcano is about to produce another lava fountaining-phase, known as paroxysm from its most active summit vent. Read all

A (so far) very small flank eruption started this afternoon or evening in the Valle del Bove at around 2,100-2,200 meters elevation. At the base of the western wall of the volcano's large U-shaped depression on the eastern flank, a fissure opened and became an effusive vent, from which a small lava flows has been descending during the past hours.

INGV reported that during 29 November-5 December eruptive activity at Etna was concentrated at the Northeast Crater (NEC) and the Southeast Crater (SEC), while only minor gas emissions rose from the Voragine and Bocca Nuova craters. Webcam images showed diffuse and discontinuous ash emissions from NEC on 1 December that quickly dissipated near the summit. On the morning of 4 December INGV staff working near the summit observed sporadic and diffuse ash emissions rising from SEC and quickly dissipating around the summit. Read all
