The new lava flow on the upper Sciara del Fuoco this evening
Another collapse of parts of the northern crater rim occurred today around 14:30 local time. Lava continued to issue from the NE cone and forms a lava flow with currently 3 branches, one of which reaches about 400 m elevation. Glowing rockfalls reach the sea.
During the afternoon, small pyroclastic flows generated by material sliding down the Sciara could be seen.
Strong explosive eruptions from the main NE vent continue to occur at intervals of 30 minutes approximately.
