Etna’s summit region seen from the east this morning. New SE crater to the left, and a small ash plume emitted from the Voragine (center) is visible.
For now, the volcano has remained mostly calm 48 hours since the latest lava fountaining episode.
Intermittent strombolian explosions with mild ash emissions continue from the Voragine crater, while the New SE crater is emitting steam and dilute ash plumes. At night, a glowing spot at the eastern end of the eruptive fissure could be seen, but no explosions.
Volcanic tremor levels are at low levels, something that can change quickly.
