 Etna is restless, with a considerable load of internal energy to be 'discharged' outside. Thus, about six hours after the previous one last night, it recorded the tenth paroxysmal event from last February 16 with lava fountains, about 300 meters high, which from about 9 come out from the South-East crater, accompanied by the emission of a high cloud of lava ash. The phenomenon, highlights the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology-Etneo Observatory (Ingv-Oe) of Catania, was preceded by a 'spattering' activity from the 'mouth' at the base of the South-East crater, which continues to feed a flow that flows into the Valle del Bove. An explosive activity at the 'Voragine' persists with the emission of ash and sustained degassing at the North-East crater. The activity of Etna has not impacted the operations of the international airport of Catania.
