Short update - Mt Etna, Sicily - 04.04.24
After more than three months of quiet gas emissions, mild Strombolian activity began on Mt Etna on the evening of April 2. The small explosions occurred at a vent on the upper northern flank of the New South East Crater. On the day of April 3rd, many gas rings were produced by the vent. During the night of April 4th, the Strombolian activity was somewhat weaker again. The activity phase was accompanied by an increase in tremor.

This INGV webcam photo taken from the eastern flank of the mountain on the evening of April 2, shows the strombolian activity as a small reddish spot:
