Ses fréquentes éruptions sont souvent accompagnées de grandes coulées de lave, mais elles ont rarement présenté un danger pour les zones habitées. L'Etna est l'un des volcans qui a les plus longs enregistrements historiques des éruptions, remontant à plus de 2000 ans.

Although further decreasing, ash and lava emissions are still continuing from the new fissure vents at the E base of SE cone. Actualités précédenteslundi, mai 19, 2008 Lava and ash emissions continue although at very low levels. The violent fissure eruption that started on May 13 from an originally 600 m long east-trending fissure parting from the NE base of the SE crater at around 2900 m elevation decreased surprisingly quickly in intensity. It seems to be coming to a soon end, although a weak emission of lava continues at present. ...
[details]mardi, mai 13, 2008 From field observations by Rosario, the beginning of a large new eruption at Etna is confirmed. Following the intense tremor, a fissure has opened NE of the SE crater, about 800m long, and erupting from about 15 vents with spectacular bubbles and hawaiian lava fountains. The lava is very fluid and forms impressive flows into the Valle del Bove. ...
