As expected yesterday evening another spectacular eruption!
Very high explosions and a ‘lava flooding’ (I wouldn’t call that a ‘lava river’, it was too wide!).
Here’s a Boris Behncke photo and first webcam image by Klaus Henning.
It seems Etna Walk was there so we’ll wait to see their photos (we suppose extraordinary as usual).
“Davide,
with this collage we would like to thank you and your team.
It was for us a week with new views of Sicily and mount Etna.
Hotel Corsaro was an excellent stay to make this happen.
Best regards
Peter and Maria Reichart”
Many thanks to you who narrated our Sicily in few beautiful photos. Thanks for your passion.
About passion Etna Walk used a maybe similar approach in a short video. Emotion in few dense images: Etna Walk teaser
Andreas Brenneke and Fabio Santanocito could be vampires. They stay awake all night waiting Etna’s blood.
This night they had their victim: probably Pit-crater again?
UPDATE: Could we miss another extraordinary Etna Walk photo?

Strong noises and a long lava river woke up eastern flank Etna towns.
From Nicolosi now I woke up it will be hard to sleep again!
Suggested webcam: Etna Trekking 5
On Giarre a lot of ash is falling down.
Andreas Brenneke was first to send us an e-mail (but we were sleeping). My girlfried arrived second but she had my mobile (extreme Etna activity can’t wake up me, she can).
UPDATE: Boris Behncke note at INGV
UPDATE: Mario Restivo photos
New photos by Hennings!
“Buonasera, Davide!
One week after our (to early) departure from Sicily [Hennings left hotel one day before a great Etna activity]Again we got a lot of new impressions of the wonderful nature and enjoyed the comfortable service in your hotel.
Each day was a long day of walking, seeing and taking photos; so each evening we were “honestly tired” and enjoyed a glass of Sicilian red wine before a gently snore could be heard from our room![…]”
Everyday there is a surprise.
Past night we had Bocca Nuova’s strombolian activity (as documented by Etna Walk).
Fourth photo is an elaboration in daylight.
A YouTube video of a tourist who was there when Pit Crater began its show.
Rocks are big but extremely light and infact you can see people walking under bombardment cathcing samples.
From our terrace you can see (and hear!) it very close but if you are not here… INGV Infrared camera
Hi,
there was some strombolian activity around last midnight in the South-East 2 Crater! I send you two photos from one of the radio-studio 7 webcams.
Heartley greetings
Andreas Brenneke”
