Current Effusive Eruption of Etna \u2013 August 2025<\/h3>\n

Overview of Current Activity
In the first days of August 2025, a new effusive eruption was observed on the southern flank of Etna’s summit craters. An opening at the base of the Bocca Nuova crater has given rise to a lava flow directed southwards, moving at a modest speed and without significant associated seismic signals.

Context
In February, the eruption had begun from an opening below the Bocca Nuova, with a flow that rapidly descended the southwestern flank to an altitude of approximately 1,960 meters, causing sudden explosions upon contact with the snow cover. Nature<\/a><\/p>\n
