Continues theeruptive activity ofEtna: the Etneo Observatory of the Ingv reported a new one Strombolian activity (a relatively low volcanic eruption, during which a modest amount of energy is freed) which generated a lava flow from South-east craterwith weak and sporadic ash emissions that rapidly dispersed in the summit area. Precautionary, the Civil Protection therefore has access to the top area prohibited of the volcano, with the suspension of excursions over 2,500 meters.
In the meantime, the effusive activity also continues from Erutive mouths placed a 3,100 meters and 3,200 meters (on the southern side of the southeast crater), which are feeding a lava field in the south-west direction. From the seismic point of view, however, the average amplitude of the volcanic tremor is confirmed in the interval of high values: also for this, yesterday, Thursday 28 August, the early alert system Etnas, which was brought to level F1 Just to indicate a high probability of imminent event of lava fountains.
The eruptive activity of the active volcano highest in Europe It started on August 14th and continues for two weeks now, with remarkable fluctuations and weak volcanic ash emissions. After being temporarily elevated to the red level, the alert Vona For civil aviation (Volcano Observatory Notice for Aviation) was reported to the code orange.
