The corresponding lava flows in the southern and central parts of the Sciara del Fuoco reach a few 100 m to a maximum of about half way down the slope of the Sciara, but generate abundant incandescent rockfalls from collapsing lava pieces of the flow fronts. Small hot deltas have thus formed at the shoreline.
Time-lapse showing the activity during the last night, showing the varying activity of the two lava flows. Note that the lava flow from the SW crater area is mostly hidden from view behind a ridge, while the one from the northern crater area is in foreground:
Volcanic activity level of the volcano remains "very high" (LGS).
