\nVery violent paroxysmal activity that generated lightning and a volcanic eruption cloud several kilometers high.
\nIt was 16 years that was not the case a paroxysm eruption from this crater.
\nVolcanic ash has held various cities and towns of the south-east to Messina and Reggio Calabria.<\/p>\n
\nWe refer to the website of the INGV\u00a0THE ETNA OBSERVATORY (CATANIA SECTION)<\/p>\nUPDATE ETNA, December 4, 2015, 4 pm\u00a0UTC<\/h3>\n
\nThe photo at left, by Boris Behncke (INGV-Osservatorio Etneo), shows the eruption column and its mushrooming top as seen from the town of Misterbianco, on the south flank of Etna, at 08:30. After 09:00, the explosive activity gradually diminished, passing into sporadic ash emissions during the late afternoon of 4 December 2015.
\nThis paroxysm was accompanied by frequent emissions of grayish-brown ash from the new pit crater that had recently opened on the upper east flank of the New Southeast Crater cone; these emissions are continuing as this update is published. The volcanic tremor amplitude remains elevated, after having reached a peak during the paroxysm in the morning, which was higher than the peak associated with the paroxysm of early 3 December 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
