Strong explosions from Etna's New SE crater this evening
The volcanic tremor signal is also on an increasing trend.
During most of the day, when visibility allowed views, there were small and irregular ash emissions, likely related to smaller explosions from the New SE crater. In the evening, constant glow and intermittent explosions were visible. These have been increasing significantly during the past few hours.

Lava fountain from Etna's New SE crater last night (image: Massimo Lo Giudice / facebook)
It followed the slow effusion of a lava flow from the same vent that had started in the morning. It is thought that the lava effusion during the da preceding the eruption at night was the result of fresh, gas-rich magma rising in the conduits, and pushing the older, largely degassed magma out first, which would explain the lava effusion.
The peak of the intense eruptive phase was around 9:30 pm local time. The eruption produced a tall ash column that rose to 4000 m altitude and drifted south and southeast. The Ash Advisory Center of Toulouse relayed reports of ash falls in the village of Fleri on the SE side of Etna.

The lava flow on the south-southwest flank remains active and continue to emerge from the summit vent.
Ongoing strombolian activity continues accompanied by emissions of steam and ash at the summit vent at lesser intensity than the average levels of the volcano. Gas-steam and ash plumes extended about 65 km to the northeast of the volcano.

The actively growing lava dome in comparison to the 1979 lava dome (image: UWI-SRC)
On 16 January the volcanologists of the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre (UWI-SRC) did a rock sampling from the western part of the growing lava dome.
During the field sampling a thermal images were taken to measure a current surface temperature approx. 590 °C as hot rising magma pushes its way up to the surface. Glow identified in satellite data suggesting rise of the magma. The aerial survey will be used to create a detailed model of the dome which will help map the growth and volume of the lava dome in the future.

At the same time, the strombolian activity from the New SE crater's main vent and, less frequently, from the Voragine central crater, decreased a bit (but continue). Both had been quite impressive during the past days, especially the activity at the New SE crater. While fluctuating and at times being intense, it had not intensified to another paroxysm (lava fountaining episode) such as on 13-14, 21 and 22 Dec last month, something that had been more or less expected.

The University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre (UWI-SRC) in collaboration with geologists prof. Richard Robertson, Dr. Thomas Christopher and Dr. Adam Stinton did an aerial flights over the volcano to observe actively growing lava dome. They were able to take thermal images of heat distribution, gas emission and dimension measurement of the new dome.
The actively extruded lava dome area located on the edge of the old lava dome from 1979 continues to grow and is higher and bigger than reported in the last update. It continues to grow laterally towards the east and west. [less]

Glowing avalanches from Merapi's lava dome last night (image: Andi Rosadi / VolcanoDiscovery Indonesia)
According to the volcano observatory, the new lava dome was first visible emerging behind the crater breach on 4 January. During 4-7 January, 19 incandescent avalanches were observed; they traveled as far as 800 m downhill, but the risk of larger avalanches increases as the dome grows.
Deformation of the volcanic edifice continued as well: distance shortening was measured between separate points in the northwestern part of the volcano, reaching rates of 15 cm per day. The reason for this contraction could be the removal of magma from internal conduits into the dome. More than 1,300 residents have been temporarily relocated from their homes in threatened areas to evacuation centers.

Lava fountains from western fissure vent at Kilauea volcano on 11 January (image: HVO)
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) reported that over the past few days, the western fissure vent within Halema‘uma‘u has escalated from weak spattering to continuous fountaining supplying lava to an open channel that was pouring into the lava lake. A spatter cone has built around both the fountaining vent and its turbulent outflow channel down to the lava lake.
The current lava lake depth is about 196 m (643 ft) with the floating islands inside.

The largest floating island in Halema‘uma‘u crater lake (image: HVO)
According to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO), a few floating islands formed in the lava lake. The largest island is about 250 m (820 ft) long, 135 m (440 ft) wide and 20 m (65 ft) tall. On 1 January the islands’ edges were about 6 m (20 ft) above the lava lake surface. On 4 Janury the whole island had risen by about 2 m (6-7 ft). The island has rotated and moved both eastward and westward since its formation on the first day of the eruption. On 6 January at about 22:30 local time the island stalled in rotation and movement.
Webcam imagery and eyewitness observations indicate that it formed through a combination of lava interacting with the lake water, early lava flows, and tephra erupted from the early highest fountains. Islands have been observed in Kīlauea lava lakes for more than 100 years. The apparent buoyancy changes of the island may be due to a density increase in the lava lake as gases escape or sloughing off of island material from the subsurface.

Glowing avalanches from Merapi's lava dome on the evening of 5 Jan 2021 (image: Yohannes Tyas Galih Jati / facebook)
During the past 48 hours, the lava dome in the summit crater produced a series of glowing avalanches from its flanks, sign that new magma is arriving into the dome, causing it to grow.
The lava dome's rims are now almost touching the breach in the crater, which means that very soon it could generate very dangerous glowing avalanches (hot pyroclastic flows) onto the outer slopes of the volcano. [less]

During the past day, the latter had been more intense, while today, activity seems to have focused towards the main vent of the New SE crater, formerly known as the "saddle vent", now a deep crater half open on its SE side due to the dramatic changes during the recent paroxysms. This is nicely visible in Domenico Mazzaglia's photo attached (source on facebook).

Seismic activity at Merapi during the past 3 months (image: VSI)
Indonesia's volcanologists recorded a record number of volcanic earthquakes under the volcano, namely 720 quakes yesterday and 680 the day before, both of which represented new records in recent months. The average for the month of November had been around 30 before these record figures. It is particularly worrying that many of the newly detected tremors may be caused by rock-breaking magma which has the power to create new magma conduits or widen existing ones inside the volcano itself. These tremors are known as volcano-tectonic quakes and can be quite dangerous.
In response to the latest activity, local authorities have extended the existing state of emergency for Merapi by one more month. As many as 240 people, recently evacuated from homes lying in particularly dangerous places around the slopes of the volcano, will need to be more patient before being allowed to return home. [less]

A total of almost 40 quakes of magnitudes of up to 3.8 have been recorded, most of them on 31 Dec and early 1 Jan. The strongest quakes were widely felt by people living on the southern slopes of Etna.
There are no signs that that these quakes have affected the activity at the summit craters, which has been calming down gradually, and seems to consist only of sporadic (if any) weak strombolian activity and some ash emissions from the New SE crater and, to lesser extent, the Voragine central crater.
