A spectacular eruption is underway on Etna volcano with a strong explosive activity from the south-east crater and the emission of a high cloud of lava ash that disperses towards the south, Sicily island, southern Italy, 16 february 2021. From the same ‘mouth’ a lava overflow emerges which produced a modest collapse of the side of the cone, generating a pyroclastic flow that developed along the western wall of the Valle del Bove.
