Etna’s lava flow from the summit craters descending to the NW (view from Monte Ruvolo / image: Emanuela / VolcanoDiscovery Italia)
A second paroxysm occurred at the Voragine summit crater this morning short time ago, i.e. less than 24 hours after yesterday’s eruption. The activity is currently still going on but waning. The lava flow on the east side, from the base of the New SE crater, continues to be active, in the meanwhile.
This time, visibility has been even worse and the event could only be inferred from the seismic signal and the ash plume (and ash falls) drifting towards the east (image).
To add to yesterday’s update: yet another new vent opened at the base of the North-East crater, at 12:09 local time, with week spattering and effusive activity.
