Short Update - Mt Etna, Sicily - 21.06.24

Over the past few nights, sporadic glow was visible above Mt Etna's La Voragine, caused by mild strombolian activity in this summit crater. The activity started on 15 June on the inner crater wall of the intracrater cone formed during the 2019 eruptive activity. Videos taken by Michele Mammino show that the original single vent has expanded into a small fissure with several active openings.
Etna's other summit craters are still quiet, emitting only gas.
Volcanic tremor increased only slightly at the beginning of the eruption and is still relatively low.

You can find more information on my website vulkan-etna-update.de (German language).
