EtnaUpdater<p>Short update - Mt Etna, Sicily - 14.02.2025</p><p>On 14 February, effusive activity continued at the southern base of the Central Crater cone. The lava flow on the south-west flank of the mountain has reached an elevation of approx. 1900 m in the Galvarina area and is approx. 3 km long. The tremor is still at a high level. Since 12 February, the old South-East Crater has been emitting strong and persistent ash and showed mild strombolian activity. A new vent, which had developed during the eruption on the upper north-western flank of the old South-East Crater, released steam, gas and some dark ash as well as occasionally some incandescent material from 11 February onwards.</p><p><a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Etna" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Etna</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/vulcano" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vulcano</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/eruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eruption</span></a> </p><p>This INGV webcam photo, taken on the evening of 13 February, shows the lava flow on the left, which flows down the southern flank in a south-westerly direction. The interaction with the snow cover produces a lot of water vapour, which is illuminated by the lava flow. On the right, a small strombolian explosion can be seen at the South-East Crater:</p>
