Etna Eruption December 2023

An Explosion of Emotions

The eruption on December 1st came to life in the early afternoon, with the spectacular opening of an eruptive fissure on the Southeast crater. Lava began to flow with force, generating fountains tens of meters high. A breathtaking sight, further accentuated by the sunset that tinted the lava flow red as it poured into the picturesque Valle del Bove.

A Volcano Always in Motion

This eruption is just the latest chapter in the millennia-old history of Mount Etna, a volcano that has always fascinated and frightened. Its activity is constant, with frequent emissions of gas and ash, and sporadic lava outflows. The last significant event before this one occurred in 2021, when a series of paroxysms affected the Southeast crater.
