Etna eruption, scientist: This cycle could last for months. Here are the risks
Views from the eruption of Etna

Etna, the most active volcano in Europe, erupted on June 2, sending huge plumes of smoke and ash into the sky.

Experts have warned that the new cycle of this activity in the Southeast crater will continue to last for weeks, if not months.

All of this depends on the volumes of magma that have entered the upper part of the feeding system.

Italian scientist, Marco Viccaro , has shown what is happening inside Etna.

He warns of the great danger that pyroclastic flows pose in areas frequented by tourists.

"The volcano has already entered this new explosive phase in the southeastern crater for several weeks, an active phase characterized by short-lived episodes, with intense energy, but slightly less than the paroxysms of '2020/2022. This is Strombolian activity that is relatively mild in the early stages and then intensifies rapidly until it produces eruptions with quite energetic frequency. It should also be remembered that Etna is a volcano in constant activity. When we speak of a state of constant activity, it should be specified that we are not necessarily referring to explosive manifestation, but also to continuous degassing or weak ash emissions, which in any case are a symptom of the presence of magma at more or less superficial levels ," he explains.

Marco Viccaro further says that evolution has produced a significant amount of instability in the summit area. Pyroclastic material has been deposited on the steep sides and cones.

Although scientists say that there is currently no danger in the middle and lower parts of the volcano, volcanic episodes can still pose a risk in the summit area and in the middle and upper areas visited by tourists.

In this case, great care must be taken, as in these stages of collapse during an explosion, which often occur suddenly, they can take unpredictable directions.

They depend on the part of the cone that collapses, and the expansion of these flows occurs at a very high speed. These are clouds of very hot, incandescent material, and they represent a significant hazard at the summit level.
