An unexpected discovery of IODP Exp 398! 200 m of ash from the Kos Plateau Tuff eruption buried in the basins around Santorini, read how it got there in our new paper in Science Advances 🌋

Submarine ash megabed fed by far-traveled, shoreline-crossing pyroclastic currents from a large explosive volcanic eruption
Volcanic ash from an eruption in Greece poured into the sea, forming a bed 200 m thick in a submarine basin far from the volcano.

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.

🌋 #ETNA VOLCANO UPDATE – 11/08/2025
#INGV reports that the lava flow observed yesterday is no longer active, with a significant decline noted last night. However, Strombolian activity continues at the SE Crater, producing sporadic ash emissions and ballistic ejecta falling within the crater rim.

🟠 ETNA UPDATE — Aug 10, 2025
A new lava flow has emerged from a vent on Etna’s southern summit area (~3000 m). Flow is heading south. No significant seismic or infrasound changes. Monitoring ongoing. 🌋
