The monsters wakes up ! Katla Hekla Iceland Dead Zone and rift as uniform system ! A lot of others worldwide !

Strolled on skis, and then suddenly...!!! (today eruption)

or standing on the balcony, the flowers watered, and then suddenly ...! all filled up with ashes
(and look how big pieces fell today!)

pompeii?

i guess near Vesuvius events began also about so. hope today people more educated, prepared and should theoretically be in time informed

great vid, very close with today ejected lava

Grimsey that means also Tjornes fructure zone

very strongly doubt that such series could be pure tectonic...

Etna is still being dramatic, throwing pyroclasts all over the place and sending rivers of lava down the slopes: [link to oi45.tinypic.com]

Yes, we pretty much all agree over here, that this is one of the most exciting moments we've ever lived at Etna, even those of us who have been working on this volcano for a long, long time. The most serious problem is that we don't get too much of sleep, and dont' have enough time to pass with our families.

Minor activity continues at Etna this evening, with lava flowing from several vents around the New Southeast Crater, and explosive activity at the Voragine and/or the Bocca Nuova

currently no significant change, complete overview of the last paroxysm of Etna

also great vid, i guess this shooting is the closest to summit crater



and and a little more

I was wondering if the Belvedere monitoring station was taken out by one of Mamma's lava flows. Looks like it went down during or shortly after today's paroxysm......

Yes we've lost EBEL ... (the webcams of radiostudio7 nearby miraculously survived so far)

also about this crack, but officially (INGV)
[link to www.ct.ingv.it]
On the late forenoon of 28 February 2013, Etna's New Southeast Crater has produced yet another paroxysmal eruptive episode, which culminated with the opening of an eruptive fissure in the saddle between the old and new cones of the Southeast Crater. A lava flow emitted from this fissure reached the monitoring station of Belvedere and descended onto the western slope of the Valle del Bove. Pyroclastic material and gas formed a large plume, which was blown eastward...

New Saku vid. Huge explosions, enormous lighting, big ask column etc. Great.

will also have a trigger effect or not

bit big to be aftershocks I think

look at all the massive volcanoes these quakes are tickling under the ribs!

Volcanic aerosols, not pollutants, tamped down recent Earth warming, study says


A team led by the University of Colorado Boulder looking for clues about why Earth did not warm as much as scientists expected between 2000 and 2010 now thinks the culprits are hiding in plain sight—dozens of volcanoes spewing sulfur dioxide.

...The new project was undertaken in part to resolve conflicting results of two recent studies on the origins of the sulfur dioxide in the stratosphere, including a 2009 study led by the late David Hoffman of NOAA indicating aerosol increases in the stratosphere may have come from rising emissions of sulfur dioxide from India and China. In contrast, a 2011 study led by Vernier—who also provided essential observation data for the new GRL study—showed moderate volcanic eruptions play a role in increasing particulates in the stratosphere, Neely said. The new GRL study also builds on a 2011 study led by Solomon showing stratospheric aerosols offset about a quarter of the greenhouse effect warming on Earth during the past decade, said Neely, also a postdoctoral fellow in NCAR's Advanced Study Program. The new study relies on long-term measurements of changes in the stratospheric aerosol layer's "optical depth," which is a measure of transparency, said Neely. Since 2000, the optical depth in the stratospheric aerosol layer has increased by about 4 to 7 percent, meaning it is slightly more opaque now than in previous years.
"The biggest implication here is that scientists need to pay more attention to small and moderate volcanic eruptions when trying to understand changes in Earth's climate," said Toon of CU-Boulder's Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. "But overall these eruptions are not going to counter the greenhouse effect. Emissions of volcanic gases go up and down, helping to cool or heat the planet, while greenhouse gas emissions from human activity just continue to go up."...

While small and moderate volcanoes mask some of the human-caused warming of the planet, larger volcanoes can have a much bigger effect, said Toon. When Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted in 1991, it emitted millions of tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere that cooled the Earth slightly for the next several years.
