A significant ash explosion occurred at 15.10 Local Time (UTC+2) at the western crater of the Bocca Nuova. The explosive activity continued for about 30 minutes, progressively diminishing in its intensity. The exceptional weather conditions allowed to observe this episode from the Piano del Lago area (southern flank of Mt. Etna, about 2600-2700 m a.s.l.).
The main explosion has produced a rising plume, constituted chiefly of ash and blocks, up to about 700-800 meters above the crater edge.
Significant changes or developments of the eruptive activity will be promptly provided. |
