Italy: Mount Etna Again Comes Back to Life ‘Like A Rumbling Train’


“On the morning of 8 September 2011, the New Southeast Crater of Etna has produced its 13th paroxysmal eruptive episode of the year 2011, generating a tall eruption column that moved south-southeast, and provoking ash and lapilli falls on numerous population centers including Trecastagni, Viagrande, San Giovanni La Punta, and the eastern part of Catania.

During this paroxysm, brief explosive events occurred also from various spots on the northern flank of the New Southeast Crater cone.” Source.
