ETNA UPDATE 14 NOVEMBER 2013, 19:45 GMT

Mild, intermittent Strombolian activity has continued since the previous update at the New Southeast Crater. During fieldwork carried out by INGV-Osservatorio Etneo staff in the summit area today, explosion sounds were heard once to three times per minute, but during intervals of good visibility no ejections of pyroclastic material out of the crater were seen. The activity undergoes fluctuations but generally shows no tendency of eitner increasing or diminishing. After nightfall, sporadic ejections of incandescent pyroclastics have observed.

Etna update, 13 November 2013

Two days after the episode of lava fountaining at Etna's New Southeast Crater, during the intervals of good visibility, the network of surveillance cameras of the INGV-Osservatorio Etneo shows sporadic and weak Strombolian explosions at the same crater. Further updates will be provided in case the situation develops.

UPDATE 13 NOVEMBER 2013, 19:45 GMT

This evening, Strombolian activity is continuing at the New Southeast Crater, which has been reported earlier today. The frequency of the explosions has increased, but the level of activity is currently relatively modest, and the volcanic tremor amplitude does not show any significant variations.
