(ANSA) - CATANIA, JUN 16 - Etna gives a show with a lava fountain, lasting about an hour, from the South-East crater and the emission of a high eruptive cloud that has turned into a 'rain' of fallen lava ash copious also on Catania. The new phase was preceded by an intense Strombolian activity and by the emission of a lava overflow from the southern flank of the 'mouth' which spreads towards the Valle del Bove. The average amplitude of the volcanic tremor, according to the Ingv of Catania, after reaching the maximum value at 2.20 pm, suffered a rapid decrease, returning to the average level. The eruption on Etna had no impact on the operation of the Vincenzo Bellini international airport in Catania. (HANDLE).
