Mt. Etna Major Eruption Now!

The New SE crater is restless. Occasional glow from the summit vent suggest that deep-seated strombolian activity continues. At the same time when this activity was visible, a glowing spot at the southern base was present as well. This could be a small effusive vent that is activated briefly during phases the magma column rises high enough inside the conduit. Also today, the volcano produces nice steam rings. Tremor is currently low.

Just posting to be sure you see this new vent on the south side.

There's a lot of rumbling - house shaking tremors and from one LiveCam I can see a lava cone - but there's so much overcast where I am I can't get a look much less a photo. I'll keep trying -

Happy Thanksgiving to the American ATS'ers out there.

Great info! Thank you -

At the time of this update, there are increasingly strong strombolian explosions or pulsating lava fountains at the New SE crater and an ash plume has started to rise. Bad weather inhibits good observations, but occasional views can be obtained especially from the NE side. You can follow the eruption "live" at our interactive webcam viewer.

There's some great thermals going on too I see!

Look who came out!

"Highest critical alert" sounds like a pretty serious alert, so I wish you luck and hope the wind blows away from you. You must lose sleep sometimes on nights like this.

Etna volcano (Italy): new paroxysm at New SE crater (nr 18 in 2013)
Thursday Nov 28, 2013 17:01 PM | BY: TOMPFEIFFER


A new paroxysm has started at the New SE crater. Following weak strombolian activity during the past days, this afternoon, started to rise steeply this afternoon. At the time of this update, there are increasingly strong strombolian explosions or pulsating lava fountains at the New SE crater and an ash plume has started to rise. Bad weather inhibits good observations, but occasional views can be obtained especially from the NE side. You can follow the eruption "live" at our interactive webcam viewer.

Hot! Hot! Hot!

I'm sorry - it's highest critical for the ash fallout - I'm in a hurry and I should take the time to explain.
Headed back out - and yeah - the ash is really bad, but it’s not hit here yet.
My apologies for not being more clear.

Be back - (back to add pic)

OK, so at least it's blowing away from you for now.

It looks like the whole top of the mountain is on fire! Wow!

Thanks for the pics. Awesome!

It's such a shame there's no sound with the above vid - but it's still amazing!

How's it going Silo? What's the latest?

Don't really know why I'm asking, because we all know you will be along as soon as you have anything to report!

Found this recording of volcanic gas jet.

You can feel the power through speakers but to think you feel it from the Earth, the ground you stand on is very troubling.

So many of us have petty complaints about traffic or weather. Just considering what you and so many others around the world live everyday.


Peace be with you and strength.

At the moment I’m getting reports of earth tremors - lava - some explosions but the weather isn’t permitting me to get a look.
I’ll keep you updated.

The volcano has awakened. The authorities at the airport (Fontanarossa) have decided to close the air space, but the airport will be operational again after an hour of closing.

And I still can't see a thing! (cloud cover and rain)
