Etna Volcano (Italy): Strombolian activity from voragine crater, intra- crater lava flows

Etna volcano

Complex stratovolcano Currently about 3329 m (changing due to eruptive activity and collapse of its crater rims)
Sicily, Italy, 37.75°N / 14.99°E
Current status: Erupting (4 out of 5)

Explosive-effusive activity continues from the new cinder cone vent in the Voragine summit crater...

Our friend Martin Rietze visited the volcano during the past days and observed: "... ongoing activity from the new Voragine crater, producing a lava flow into Bocca Nova crater depression. Nearly permanent strombolian activity with sometimes (all 20min roughly) bigger explosions, accompanied by shock waves and up to 300m high, maybe more."..
