On April, 8th Thomas Bretscher was on Montagnola when a big cloud arose from Sud-Est crater zone.

He sent us some high-detail photos by close distance of this event.

I publish them in chronological order (by each photo number).

Thanks you very much!

Yesterday I was in Giarre.

I had the best view of a new event.

A big but not so dense ash column grow up fast from Sud-Est zone and luckly I took a picture.

Nothing special but a good sign of increasing activity for all people this year wish to see our volcano.

Thanks to mr. Beck who sent me an e-mail to advice me of this event. This is one of very rare times I see activity before our friends all over the world

Two days ago a 4,2 Richter earthquake shook nothern side of Etna.
