#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.

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.

🌋 The Krasheninnikov volcano in Kamchatka has erupted for the first time since 1550, according to Russian scientists.
Ash plume has reached 5–6 km altitude and is drifting east over the Pacific.
