GLOBAL VOLCANISM: Strombolian Activity Continues at Mount Etna - 5th Explosive Eruption in 2012!
Europe's tallest and most active volcano, Mount Etna, has erupted for the fifth time in 2012, spewing hot lava and ash in the early hours of Sunday. The lava, which could be seen moving down the mountain's side just after 4am local time, continued to spew until around 5.30 am, according to local news reports. Ash from the eruption landed on the villages at the foot of the volcano; however no damage was reported and nearby airports remained open. What already had been becoming evident late last night, the 23rd paroxysm of Etna's New SE crater occurred early during the second half of the night to 1st April. Strombolian explosions and weak ash emissions from the New SE crater. The climax of the eruption with tall lava fountains took place at around 3 am and was relatively short, as during the previous eruption. Lava flowed into the Valle del Bove and the southeastern sector of the Etna and the surroundings received ash fall. It is interesting to note that interval since the previous eruption, 14 days, was exactly the same as the previous interval. This suggests that once again, a certain rhythm might have established itself, and if that is true, the next paroxysm should be expected around 15 April...

Video taken during probably only overnight trip to rim of Bromo volcano during its 2010-2011 eruption. Noise was regulated down for recording but was actually deafening and prevented sleep all night (its difficult to sleep with your fingers in your ears ;-))..). Volcano was switching between degassing, strombolian eruptions and ash-rich eruptions during period of visit.

strombolian activity
(from wikipedia) Stromboli (Sicilian: Stròmbuli, Greek: Στρογγύλη Strongulē) is a small island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, off the north coast of Sicily, containing one of the three active volcanoes in Italy. It is one of the eight Aeolian Islands, a volcanic arc north of Sicily. This name is a corruption of the Ancient Greek name Strongulē which was given to it because of its round swelling form. The island has a population of between 400 and 750. The volcano has erupted many times, and is constantly active with minor eruptions, often visible from many points on the island and from the surrounding sea. The last major eruption was in August 2, 2008. Stromboli stands 924 m (3031 ft) above sea level,[1] but actually rises over 2000 m (6500 ft) above the sea floor. There are three active craters at the peak. A significant geological feature of the volcano is the Sciara del Fuoco ("Stream of fire"), a big horseshoe-shaped depression generated in the last 13000 years by several collapses on the north western side of the cone Strombolian eruption; Exposure of several seconds. The dashed trajectories are the result of lava pieces with a bright hot side and a cool dark side rotating in mid-air. Stromboli is remarkable because of the length of time for which it has been in almost continuous eruption. For at least the last 2000 years, the same pattern of eruption was maintained, in which explosions occurred at the summit craters with mild to moderate eruptions of incandescent volcanic <b>...</b>

Etna's Bocca Nuova is back on the scene - 13 July 2011
Intense Strombolian activity on the floor of the Bocca Nuova, the largest of the summit craters of Etna, started on the late evening of 11 July 2011. Two days later, a team of volcanologists of the INGV-Catania, including myself, enjoyed a wonderful show, the first significant activity in the Bocca Nuova since more than 10 years. The audio unfortunately suffers from the strong wind blowing during our visit, which also sandblasted our faces and caused intense pain in our eyes, and sometimes made small rock fragments land on our protective helmets. Some of the original eruption sound can be heard, especially in the first 10 seconds of the video. At about 00:45, I raised the camera to show the Northeast Crater to the north, and then panned to the horizon, still tinged with the afterglow from the sunset not long before, and my colleague Mauro is seen, as he asks "Boris stai facendo video?" (Boris, are you recording video?) More to follow soon !!!

Strombolian Activity at Bocca Nuova - Etna - July 13, 2011
Dopo 10 anni in cui si erano verificate soltanto delle sporadiche emissioni di cenere litica, la Bocca Nuova rientra in attività con moderate esplosioni stromboliane concentrate sul fondo sudorientale della depressione craterica (molto simile a quella che ha caratterizzato lo stesso cratere nella seconda metà degli anni '90). Le esplosioni sono continue (20-25 al minuto) con lanci di brandelli di lava che, in alcuni casi, superano in altezza l'orlo meridionale del cratere sommitale anche per 70-80 mt. Gran parte del materiale emesso ricade all'interno della depressione craterica, superando in certi casi ciò che resta del "diaframma" e ricadendo all'interno della Voragine. Si è osservata, seppur sporadicamente, la ricaduta di materiale incandescente sull'alto fianco sudorientale della Bocca Nuova. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shooting & Video Editing by Marco Di Marco.

Mt. Etna Volcano - First Eruption 2012 Magma Plume 2/9/12
February 9, 2012 -- ITALY -Tremor continues to rise (now at 13), from the webcam image, it seems a lava flow is starting to issue from the SE fracture. All indicators point towards we are having the 2nd paroxysm in 2012 during the next hours! The volcanic tremor is now steeply rising (at 8) and vigorous strombolian activity can be seen on the various webcams, possibly a lava flow has started as well. While strombolian activity continues from the New SE crater of Etna volcano, volcanic tremor has started to rise, suggesting a new paroxysm could be in the making in the next hours, although it is still early to be certain. The photo (left) from Boris Behncke was taken during the night of 7-8 February 2012, when the continuing strombolian activity of the New Southeast Crater on Etna was finally widely visible, after about one week of essentially bad weather. Some explosions threw incandescent lava bombs outside the crater, although most were rather weak and all material fell back into the crater. This is a view of one of the stronger explosions observed on the late evening of 7 February 2012, taken from Trecastagni village on the southeast flank of Etna. The activity continued, sometimes vigorously, sometimes more subdued, through the night and morning of 8 February theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com

Watch in Slow Motion at 60 Frames Per Second! The sky changes and only seconds later you can actually see the Shock Waves shooting straight up into the air from deep within Yasur's Crater. Turn it up loud and listen to the Strombolian activity as the lava splashes around. It's a devilish, heated sound and one that I have never heard before, and will never forget. You can see the shockwave hit me as the camera physically reacts to it. While we were at Yasur we were told that Yasur was currently at an Alert Level 3. However, after reading what the Alert Levels actually are. I am under the impression that it was actually an Alert Level 4 and that we are not actually be supposed to be standing at the rim of the volcano. As the night progressed the eruptions began to get a lot louder and even more violent with huge lava bombs everywhere. It was truly an experience that I will never forget.

The 12-13 January 2011 lava fountain of Etna (part 1: prelude)
For much of the day of 12 January 2011, mild Strombolian activity (that is, single, separate bursts of incandescent lava fragments) had been going on at gradually increasing intensity a the pit crater on the east flank of the Southeast Crater cone, at the summit of Mount Etna. At nightfall, I drove up to a place known as Piano del Vescovo, at about 1375 m elevation, which offers a direct view onto the Southeast Crater, and took this video. The activity was quite weak at this time, but certainly gaining strength. A few hours later, it would be an entirely different thing.

Januar 2011, von Markus Belde Mount Etna, the 3329-metre 10922-feet volcano in Sicily erupted in the evening of January 12, 2011 for around four hours, providing an amazing scenery. On the evening of 11th January 2011 an increase in volcanic tremor was recorded at the summit of the volcano. The recorded seismic activity reached a peak at 7 am on 12th January when the source moved from north of NE crater to the SE crater. The eruption started with strombolian explosive activity at SE crater at around 9.pm Lava overflowed the eastern rim of SE crater and fed a flow that moved toward the western wall of the Valle del Bove (Valley of the oxen), an ancient huge uninhabited depression on the NE side of the volcano. The Sicilian communities near the volcano were not threatened by this latest fascinating eruption. Known as 'Jebel Utlamat' in Arabic - meaning 'mountain of fire - Etna's name is thought to originate from the Phoenician word 'attuna', meaning 'furnace'. Etna is Europe's most active volcano and has been active for around half a million years. Eruptions have rarely threatened the inhabited areas in the volcano's vicinity. Most eruptions take place on the summit area around its 4 crates with spectacular lava streams flowing usually inside the large uninhabited depression of the "Valle del Bove", having an <b>...</b>

The Etna eruption at 6th of august 2011 (The midnight paroxysm)
In the night of 5th to 6th August another paroxysm occured at the southeast crater of mount Etna. The video shows the built up of the activity and its culmination into a huge, jetting fountain. First impressions where taken at about 1700, when already short series of small explosions occured within the crater. At 2200 a lava flow appeared, pouring out of the scar at the base of the crater. Rapidly increasing strombolian activity turned into a constant lavafountain at about 2330. Shortly before midnight, an impressive fountain rose several hundrets of meters and was accompanied by tremendous thundering. At 0030 activity ceased and ended about an hour later.

Close Call!! 1200°C Lava bomb almost obliterates the wireless video equipment!
This video shows a very VERY close call when a lava bomb roughly the size of a basketball slams just feet away from VideoComm's wireless transmitter and receiver system which sends video to a research camp at the base of Mt. Erebus. Mount Erebus, which towers 3794 Meters above sea level is considered the world's southernmost historically active Volcano. Monitoring earthquakes, exploding magma (lava bombs the size of a Buick!) and an active lava lake deep inside a 22500 square foot crater is no easy task. From a safe distance (22 Miles away), researchers from the New Mexico Technical Institute are able to study the volcanic activity in Real-Time using VideoComm Technologies RT-WAVE wireless digital video system. Dr. Bill McIntosh, Associate Professor of Geochemistry for the New Mexico Technical Institute writes: "The VideoComm Technologies wireless video system fired up instantly when I restored power, which we had switched off last January (2010) due to an anticipated shortage of winter solar power... The new VideoComm RT-Wave video system, which we are using to send video from the crater rim is truly working as advertised. We appreciate having the video from VideoComm Technologies RT-Wave system, still running flawlessly after several years in the field.

Glorious, magnificent, mind-boggling - The Greatest Show On Earth: Etna, 5 January 2012
Etna is known to be one of the most active volcanoes on Earth. Many also believe it to be a rather harmless, good-mannered volcano, which most of the time is true, although (quite rarely, like once every 200-plus years) it does indeed bury entire villages under lava flows, and the risk of lava invading populated areas is quite elevated. However, there is no elevated risk for those areas when the volcano erupts from one or more of its four summit craters - there's just a high probability to feel emotionally overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of the summit eruptions. Last year, during the night of 12-13 January 2011, Etna returned on the scene after one-and-a-half years of repose, producing what technically is called an "eruptive episode", a short-lived event (normally lasting only a few hours), but also the word "paroxysm" is often used for this sort of event. "Paroxysm" implies something rather violent, and Etna's paroxysms are violent indeed, but most of all, they are breathtakingly spectacular. The year 2011 eventually saw 18 paroxysmal eruptive episodes from Etna, some of which were of exceptional beauty, most were quite well documented both in photographs and video, which then made the tour of the world via the Internet. My small YouTube video collection contains a few scenes from several of those paroxysms. The latest occurred on 15 November 2011 and once more was of fierce beauty and sheer violence - an act of brutal creation, which left a mountain 200 m tall, the <b>...</b>

ETNA Volcano eruption Raw video 2012
See Full Article: www.wired.com Subscribe For those of you watching the Etna webcams yesterday (and I think there were many of you), you were privy to quite the show. Etna has a spectacular paroxysm (video) that produced first strombolian explosions at the summit, then a lava flow that headed down Valle del Bolle along with a fire fountain in the crater that fed the show display (see below). This paroxysm (video), according to the brief initial report by Osservatorio Etneo, was less violent than many in 2011, but lasted longer, topping out at almost 6 hours. The eruption did prompt a brief closure of the airport at Catania However, as Dr. Boris Behncke's great image (above) displays, the close relationship between Etna and villages like Milo are always tested during these eruptions of Italy's most active volcano. Boris happened to the the volcanologist-on-duty for this paroxysm and had this to say in the comments from yesterday's postWebcam capture of the February 8-9 eruption of Etna, showing the fire fountain at the crater and the lava flow headed down Valle Del Bolle. Image by Erik Klemetti.: "This was a beautiful one, but less violent than those of 15 November 2011 and 5 January 2012; however it lasted quite a bit longer -- a good 5.5 hours, if we count the hours of true lava fountaining.

On the morning of the 7th April 2012 Anak Krakatau started to produce small eruptions from the southern part of the crater. The eruption clouds only reached a height of 100-150meters and only contained small amounts of ash and only a little rockfall, the eruptions was not of a explosive character. The rest of the crater and its fumaroles are producing a continuous white cloud of steam/gas, rising to greater heights than the eruption clouds from the southern part of the crater. Additionally the southern/southwestern part of the outer part of the crater does now have fumaroles, indicating that magma is trapped under this part of the cone.

Etna's powerful 15 November 2011 paroxysm
This is some of the most impressive footage that I have managed to shoot during one of Etna's latest paroxysmal eruptive episodes. This is the one of 15 November 2011, one of the more violently explosive in the series, and we had the chance to see it at rather close distance (between 0.9 and 1.5 km away). This has also some of the best sound of all my movies of these events. The first part of the movie shows the relatively mild Strombolian activity that heralded the main lava fountaining phase. The transition between the two (between 01:15 and 01:40) was quite rapid - I did the filming in that moment from the 4WD-car with which we were about to rush to a safer and more distant viewing poing. The falling rock fragments were luckily very light, consisting of highly porous scoriae. In the later phase (around 02:45) you can see large rocks being tossed to more than 800 m above the crater. And finally, at 03:23, you can hear me announce "ora finisce" (now it's finishing), and a few seconds later, the loud eruption noise suddenly disappeared, and this impressive lava fountain was over.

Etna, 24 November 2006: a helicopter overflight
I should finally release some of the video I have created over the years of the vast amounts of Etna video footage and still images that I have archived ... so here's the first one, more to follow at irregular intervals. The 2006 eruptions from the Southeast Crater of Etna were not as violently spectacular as those of 2000-2001, but provided a series of amazing new features and processes, and were still an awesome show to see. On 24 November 2006, the Southeast Crater entered into one of many episodes of strong explosive activity (violent Strombolian to lava fountaining), producing more ash this time than during previous episodes. I witnessed the early stages of this episode from Catania, but then was asked to participate in an overflight in the Italian Civil Defence helicopter. This was - so far - the most impressive overflight of Etna I have done: the volcano in full eruption, covered in snow and emitting a dense ash plume, and hearing my colleagues on the ground on the volcano via the radio contact. The last two still images are of Thomas Reichart, one of the most dedicated Etna photographers, who paid for his passion with his life. When I constructed this video, he was still among us; unfortunately he never got to see it. The video comes with an extract of Genesis' "Second Home By The Sea" (live version).

Eruzione Etna 24 aprile 2012 Fontane di Lava Etna Eruption, Lava Fountains. HD
Spettacolare eruzione dell'Etna nella notte tra il 23 e il 24 aprile. E' la settima eruzione del 2012, ancora una volta originata dal nuovo cratere di Sud-est, che già nel 2011 ne ha originate 18. Una colata lavica nella desertica Valle del Bove e poi un crescendo di esplosioni e fontane di lava. Il venticinquesimo parossismo del vulcano è stato molto energetico e una enorme colonna di cenere e lapilli è stata espulsa durante l'evento. Cenere e lapilli sono poi ricaduti sui paesi del versante est dell'Etna: Giarre e Sant'Alfio soprattutto. Il vento ha poi disperso la nube vulcanica portandola verso il mare Ionio. Eruption of Mount Etna Volcano, the 7th paroxysm of the year 2012. The eruption has been very strong and full of energy, with lava flow, explosions (strombolian activity), lava fountains and a huge cloud of lapilli and volcanic ash. This is the 25th paroxysm of the Etna volcano since January 2011.

The 12-13 January 2011 lava fountain of Etna (part 2: the buildup)
While the Strombolian activity at the active pit was constantly increasing, lava overflowed the low eastern rim of the pit around 21:40 h (local time = GMT+1) on 12 January 2011, forming a small flow that initially advanced very slowly. But then it gained speed, as it was fed more and more vigorously, and soon it arrived at the upper rim of the steep western face of the Valle del Bove. My love Catherine and I watched the progess of the lava flow for some time, and then she went to bed and I posted an update on the INGV-Catania web site, reporting the lava overflow. Soon thereafter, the Strombolian activity suddenly passed into sustained lava fountaining.
