Yes, dear reader, my neighbour Etna, the vulcano has roared one more time.
Yes, dear reader, my neighbour Etna, the vulcano has roared one more time.
Last night at 2.00am a stream of lave came - very silently cause i didn't hear - down the east flank and has melt down a significant amount of snow. But, no earthquake nor before or during the eruption, no ashrain, no sulfersmell. If the tourguide of todays excursion hadn't mentioned it, i wouldn't have noticed at all. The eruption last untill 10am and didn't cause any casualties, unless a growing interest in the "visit Etna by jeep" up to 3000m excursion, so thank you Etna!

No casualties? :(
Geen slachtoffers, buiten een paar sneeuwvlokjes die gesmolten zijn of zo... ;-)
I had a chat with some clients who went up mount Etna today to do a "jeep safari" and they told me they actually walked on some of the fresh hot lava, and could hold small pieces of it for a couple of seconds. this after no longer than 24hours after erruption.
When a major eruption happens, it takes 10 years for the whole mass to cool down completely.
