The volcano gave the first signs already in the night: it is the 15th paroxysmal event since last February 16th
Violent roars, which vibrate windows and doors of the villages on the slopes of the volcano, an increase in the values of the tremor amplitude and a growing Strombolian activity have anticipated the 15th paroxysmal event from last February 16th on Etna. From the South-East crater you can observe a lava fountain and the emission of lava ash that the forecast model created by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology-Etna Observatory indicates that it is pushed by the winds in an East-North-East direction.
The increase in the tremor of the internal magma ducts continues, which has reached the second alarm level. The springs always fall in the South-East crater area at a depth of 2,800 meters above sea level. The intense infrasonic activity continues. The new eruptive phase of the highest active volcano in Europe does not impact the activity of the Vincenzo Bellini international airport in Catania, which continues to be operational.
