Short update - Mt Etna, Sicily - 29.03.2025

In the last 14 days, further Strombolian episodes have occurred at the South East Crater of Mt Etna:
Accompanied by strongly increasing tremor, weak Strombolian explosions were visible at the former saddle vent of the South East Crater on the evening of 19 March. The vent located above the large southern breach continued to increase its activity until midnight and finally powerful Strombolian explosions hurled glowing material onto the southern and eastern flanks of the New South East Crater cone. Further vents on the upper north-west flank of the cone also became active. After about 02:30 the intensity of the explosions decreased again and at sunrise the activity was already significantly reduced.
A similar episode began on the morning of 24 March, but it took place in very bad weather. The fading Strombolian activity at the South East Crater could only be observed in the evening.
Another Strombolian episode is likely to have occurred on 28 March, as the tremor again increased sharply for a few hours, but dense clouds and fresh snow prevented any observation via webcams.

This INGV-webcam photo shows the Strombolian activity at the South East Crater on the morning of 20 March. The explosions that began the evening before have already weakened:

Snow-covered volcanic cones at dawn. An orange-red area can be seen above the largest cone (South East Crater). It is caused by glowing lava, which is ejected explosively from a vent.

My aunt recently found a two-page paper written my my great grandfather about his experience during the Mount St. Helens eruption. He was on shift on the Hanford Site near Richland, Washington when it happened.

I'm excited to share it with you all this upcoming May. It's very well written and has a lot of detail.
