Days of fiery impressions

The new episode of the strombolian activities of the SE-cone. Also baned from fire and thunder, lavastreams and insidious sand devils: Ingo v. Kaenel

The first view behind the SE-cone to the lavaflows. Sandstorms on the summit region made this observations very uncomode. The lavaflows elapsed. After a two day's break the first eruption of the new episode 2001 at the SE-cone startet at 3:30 am. 

Lets introduce a new vent on Etnas summit. "The Levantino". The good old lava fontain from 2000 created it's own dome. The big birthday candles on the Southeast......... 

Fuoco dell' Etna. Activity the whole night long with detailed images of a 250m high magma spring on top of  the Levantino. Lavajets from 500 up to 700 meter."Tutto rosso". Attending to a really mighty and noisy eruption.
