Etna (Sicily, Italy): Following periods of short-lived strombolian-style explosions from the volcano’s from the Southeast Crater over the past three weeks, the eruptive activity has culminated in a strong eruptive episode (high magnitude explosive eruptions) today, known as paroxysms.
The intense constant strombolian activity from the crater continued until 18:00 local time since it has been picking up by forming high lava fountains.

…1 Dec:
A powerful eruption is in progress at the volcano now. Known as paroxysms, the South-East crater produces strong lava fountains rising at least 500 m in height and feeding two lava flows towards the east and southwest of the cone.
The eruption is another one in a long series of paroxysms from the SE crater in recent years. As always, it announced itself in that volcanic tremor started to rise sharply a few hours ago. The eruption has now probably reached its peak intensity. In most cases, this phase will last less than a few hours at most.
At the moment, a dense column of ash is rising above the vent to an estimated altitude of 30,000 ft (10 km) and drifting towards the East. An aviation alert has been issued.
