At approximately 3,300 meters high, the lava flow is still seeping from a crack that formed on the southern slope of the "Bocca Nuova" crater on Saturday evening.
According to information from the Italian press, based on the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) in Catania, no significant changes were recorded in the volcano's parameters.
It was emphasized that the volcanic activity on Etna remains normal, and the current situation indicates that the volcano is not emitting more energy than what is typical for a constantly active volcano.
The reports also mentioned that the lava flow is advancing along a very narrow path, only a few hundred meters long.
There were no signs of danger, and it was stated that developments are being closely monitored by the authorities. In the summer of 2024, intense ash and lava eruptions had been recorded at Mount Etna, which is the highest active volcano in continental Europe, located on the island of Sicily.
