The 5-6 March 2013 paroxysm of Etna

After the lava fountaining episode on the forenoon of 28 February 2013, Etna's new Southeast Crater remained in a state of relative calm for about four-and-a-half days, whereas intense Strombolian activity continued at the Voragine. On the evening of 5 March, the New Southeast Crater reactivated to produce a new paroxysm around midnight between 5 and 6 March 2013. Click here to read a detailed account on this event.
