Volcanic Quakes
Earthquakes near Volcanoes: Our world-wide map continuously detects shallow earthquakes near volcanoes. These could be early signs of unrest and often precede eruptions.
Smoke rings
Etna's steam rings: A collection of fantastic vortex rings ("smoke rings") we observed recently on Etna.
Etna Trekking Tours
Private tours on Etna volcano: Discover Europe's largest active volcano on private, guided 1-day tours. Tours can be customized for different interests and fitness levels.
Nyamuragira
