Etna

...19:45: The 13th paroxysm is at its highest with lava fountains and at least one lava flow. A conventional but dramatic event!

20:30: It’s now night on Mount Etna. The paroxysm is going on with a lava fountain and a lava low travelling towards the Valle del Bove.

21:00: The INGV website with the tremor and the seismographs is no longer accessible but it seems the paroxysm has lost some of its intensity. The lava fountains are less powerful. However, the lava flow that travels towards the Valle del Bove is still well fed.

21:30: Even though the lava fountains are still vigorous, the tremor shows that the 13th paroxysm is declining. Like the previous ones, it was quite spectacular despite the start that could not really be seen because of the clouds.

Here is a video of the lava fountains shot by Boris Behncke (INGV Catania)
