GLOBAL VOLCANISM: New Ash Explosions From The New Southeast Crater At Italy's Mount Etna - Seismic Unrest And Earthquake Swarm Indicate That "Something" Could Be In The Making?!

November 06, 2013 - ITALY - Seismic unrest continues and gives the general impression that "something" could be in the making at the volcano.

A swarm of earthquakes at depths around 15-20 km has been going on under the SW flank, suggesting magma could be rising from deeper reservoirs into the volcano's shallower storage areas.

Tremor has been showing a rising tendency, but so far, no particular eruptive activity has been observed.

Since about an hour ago, some relatively strong explosions re-appeared to occur at the New SE crater. This could be a signal that it is heading towards a new paroxysm in the near future.

Tremor continues to rise slowly. The next days (if not hours) will probably give the answer. - Volcano Discovery.
