#Etna update

#INGV has communicated that the effusive activity continues feeding several lava flows from an eruptive fissure located at ca. 2100 m a.s.l. The most advanced flow has now reached 1360 m a.s.l. down the Valle del Bove

#Etna update 🌋

#INGV reported that a new eruptive vent has opened near Mt. Simone at ~2,100 m a.s.l., feeding a lava flow down the Valle del Bove. The most advanced front has reached 1,500–1,400 m a.s.l.
INGV teams are currently on site monitoring the flow’s evolution.

Alert level raised to yellow due to increased tremor, which could indicate rapid intensification of volcanic activity. Precautionary measures advised for hikers at high elevations.

🌋 This afternoon, the NE crater produced vigorous lava fountain activity, reaching heights of up to 400 m, followed by the development of an eruptive column rising several kilometers into the atmosphere.

Merry Christmas from Etna! 🌋🎄
Strombolian activity is ongoing at the Northeast Crater, with glowing ejecta and a small plume drifting NE. Minor ashfall in Piano Provenzana and Taormina.

🔥🌋 Kīlauea went wild yesterday!
Multiple vents opened inside Halemaʻumaʻu, creating giant fountains-some shooting over 300 m into the air-and an ash-and-gas plume towering over the crater. One of the webcams even got taken out by the heat.

🌋 Mount Semeru Eruption – 19 Nov 2025
Semeru, one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes, unleashed a major eruption this week. A powerful pyroclastic flow raced 8.5 km down its slopes — one of the longest in recent years

#Stromboli update — 13 Nov
A new lava overflow from the North Crater Area is sending a small flow down the upper Sciara del Fuoco. Steady spattering continues from two vents in the north, along with ongoing explosive activity from the Southern Crater Area.

🌋 The Bruno Capaccioni School of Volcanology, organized by #AIV, is underway at the Aeolian Islands!

📚 Inspiring lectures + 🌍 field excursions to Lipari and Vulcano are giving participants a unique chance to learn directly in the heart of volcanic landscapes

More to come as the school continues!

Yesterday #Etna showed effusive activity from the 3200 m fracture and Strombolian explosions at the South-East Crater. Lava flows from 3100 m and 2980 m vents remain active, the latter branching into 3 arms. Photos by Francesco Ciancitto #INGV.

🌋 Etna Update – Aug 20, 2025
INGV reports a new effusive vent opening at ~3200 m on the S flank of the SE Crater, feeding a lava flow toward the ŚW.
Effusive activity continues from vents at ~3100 m and 2980 m. Strombolian explosions and ash emissions persist, dispersing quickly in the atmosphere.
August 20, 2025 at 7:29 PM
🌋 Etna Update – Aug 19, 2025
The effusive vent at 2980 m is still active, feeding a lava field with tunnels and small vents. Strombolian explosions continue at SE Crater, with occasional reddish ash from Bocca Nuova.
