Fresh explosive activity was reported
at Etna's New Mouth crater as Europe's tallest active volcano
blew its stack once again.
Explosive activity from the Bocca Nuova crater was observed from
5 p.m. by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology
(INGV), Etna observatory, in Catania. No ash emission is
reported at the moment.
From the seismic point of view, the increase in the volcanic
tremor amplitude continues at high values and the source of the
tremor is localised between the Bocca Nuova and South-East
craters. Since 4.44 p.m., a seismic swarm has also been in
progress in the summit area of Europe's highest active volcano.
The most energetic event, currently of magnitude 1.9, was
recorded at 5 p.m. by the instruments of the Catania INGV.
