Etna (Sicily, Italy): (18 Jun) The latest Sentinel-2 satellite images of the volcano over the past three days revealed new thermal radiation in the Voragine crater.
The first detected signal was identified on June 15 and gradually intensified, as seen from space on June 17. This has been confirmed by video footage (see the attached video) from a newly formed crater vent resulting from intense strombolian-style lava spattering of molten pyroclasts.
