Short update - Mt Etna, Sicily - 24.02.2025
Mt Etna is back in action!
During the night of 23 February, the emission of lava at the euptive fissure below Bocca Nuova intensified again. In the evening, strombolian activity was visible on the north-west flank of the old South East Crater cone and the lava flow appeared even better fed than in the early morning. At the same time, the tremor increased significantly and once again reached a high level. The eruptive activity continued unchanged on 24 February.
