This latest eruption of Mount Etna was quite spectacular, but still does not compare in height to the lava fountains it has produced from other eruptions in the last several hundred years.
As someone who has been interested in volcanoes since I was 2, I have to say that in my opinion, Etna produces the most beautiful and awe inspiring eruptions in the world. Very few volcanoes can produce such amazing lava fountains so regularly and since it is so active, you don’t have to wait long to witness a new one
@@mariyanzarev6423 It is practically impossible to give an accurate date or time frame for an eruption to occur, as things can change very rapidly at a volcano, especially one as unstable as Etna. However, following the recent trends, Etna usually erupts at least once every month or two months. Don’t take that as a unchanging pattern though as it could go for much longer between eruptions or it could erupt several times in one month.
There’s a Super Volcano hiding under Italy and it’s as dangerous as Yellow Stone so I think there’s nothing beautiful about it especially when it’s actually getting ready to erupt just like Yellow Stone…. The magma is getting higher and the only difference between Italian Super Volcano and Yellow Stone is that there’s millions of people living near it!
Hey GeologyHub! I've been bingeing your videos and you've gotten me interested in the subject. For a video idea, would consider covering the Jackson Volcano? I found it interesting as a Mississippi native that our state capitol as an extinct volcano under it that hasn't been active since the cretaceous. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos!
Good request. This channel taught me there are 2 extinct volcanoes in my state of Va. I was gobsmacked. Would really like to hear more about other ancient volcanoes in places considered unlikely to have them.
I feel like Etna is quite the underrated volcano simply because of how often it erupts. Even though 1km tall lava fountains are spectacular and rare, and the whole complex itself is quite the interesting feature, it just doesn't get as much attention since its pretty much always erupting. Etna streams should be more popular, if I had the time I'd probably check on 'em every now and then.
I was there for the eruption. We knew it erupted often, so no big deal right? Once we had locals joining us on the roof of our hotel in Catania we realized this might be a bigger eruption than normal.
I have family living in Bronte. They probably got an amazing show. Wow I didn't know Mt Etna was a stratovolcano on top of a shield volcano. It made me realize that Mt Bachelor in Oregon looks like a smaller version of Etna since it formed in a similar way.
It does it night and day. Eruptions on mount etna (and most volcanoes) aren’t quick things that last few hours, they last for days and, sometimes, weeks. The footage published on media is nocturnal because it’s the most spectacular, but there is plenty of footage of the daytime too, if one looks for it.
It WAS spectacular, wasn't it?! Just happened to be checking volcano livecams around the world, when Mama Etna started popping. She'd been active the night before, showing orange-red flashes & glow. Seemed she was preparing, & she was. So glad I got to see it live! Thanks for your great info!
I was lucky enough to go on an excursion up Etna during the Mediterranean cruise I was on a few years ago. It was incredible. The bus took us up as close as it could go to the summit. There was a gift shop that was literally partially buried in an earlier lava flow. Also on the journey up we went though various stages of older lava flows breaking down. Way better than going to the village where they filmed part of Godfather II.
The Vulcano island shown in the picture near the end looks like it's growing a new cone after it's top blew off numerous times, and the most populated area seems to be in between the new cone and the rim of a crater from an old eruption, that looks like a not-so-safe place to build a city. It's probably less windy there than the rest of the island because of the mountains so I guess that's why they built it there but, not the best place if the volcano erupts.
Beautiful Etna doesn't disappoint! I love how much I learn from these videos, didn't realize those spectacular outbursts we're paroxysms. Also, how common are strata volcanoes forming overtop of shield volcanoes?
It’s not that uncommon as the change in the volcanoes type represents a increase or decrease of silica content in the underlying magma chamber. If a chamber of magma is present for long enough without erupting into the surface, it will begin to leech silica from the surrounding rock, making the magma more viscous, which thus changes the style of eruption and if that style stays more explosive for long enough it will begin forming a stratovolcano. Another example would be some of the Volcanoes in the Aleutian Islands, some of them have shield volcanoes as a base.
I grew up on Oahu, Hawaii and I was blessed enough to watch Kilauea erupt and it is a memorizing view...and I have been in love with volcanoes ever since..i recently found your channel and really enjoy your work.. Could you perhaps someday do an episode on the volcanoes around Placerville California which gave us the gold found here back in the 1800's thru the 1950's when the mining came to an end.
In the mid-60's I was in the US Navy and stationed in Sicily. One time some buddies and I went to the coastal village of Cyclopi at the foot of Etna on the east coast. In the water are several LARGE lava bombs just a few hundred feet off shore, thrown there by some of the really serious eruptions in years past. According to Homer of "Odyssey" fame, Polythemus, the Cyclops Odysseus blinded threw the boulders at Odysseus and his ship as he escaped. These boulders weigh between 30 and 100 tons each and are several miles from the volcano. I still have movies of a couple of those huge boulders and they sit in about 30 feet of water.
The boulders you've seen are not volcanic bomb thrown there by past eruption. They're instead remains of ancient lava flows, brought to light by the uplift of that area.
One of the most important things is that the energy released occurs slowly ... yes there are explosions but they could be very dangerous ... instead the ETNA releases its energy from time to time, slowly and thanks to this it does not create situations of danger to the populations, at least for now.
I flew over Mt. Etna on my way to the Naval Air Station. Truly a sight to be seen. Although it seems not smart that the navy built a base right at the foot of a very active volcano
Ive seen videos of people hiking up the mountain and getting pelted by flying lava when it erupted unexpectedly. Ill never understand climbing a volcano as active as Mount Etna
What a view that must have been for those living within it's sight. I'm guessing no one lives close enough to have been in the flow and car size rocks?
Incredible shot!! Thank for your explanation., as I'm very interested in volcanoes and earthquakes. You have been instrumental in helping me understand what goes on.
My step-mom's family is from Enna right dead center of Sicily. I went there on summer vacation twice in the early 80s but didn't get to see an eruption, although there were a couple while we were in Palermo on the North side of the island, I watched it on tv.
I like your informative narration. I'm interested in the amounts of sulfur dioxide that volcanoes have been injecting into the relevant part of the atmosphere which produces a cooling effect.
I wonder if we’ll see any footage of the Iceland eruption in future movies because some of the footage people were able to capture with drones was amazing
Have you done a video about the mystery tsunami of 2021? I just read an article suggesting it was caused by a series of earthquakes in the middle of the South Atlantic, but several deep quakes hid a powerful Mag 8.something quake that was shallow.
Given that Etna is erupting continuously over a large irregular area, is there any sense of altitude change over long periods of time (hundreds of years)?
Just to note on the last video, I think it caused a lot of confusion and thinking that the area in Naples had been evacuated, so just wanted to let you know
What I don't get is that the scientist don't look at maybe there is a link between the different eruptions we had lately like the tonga eruption and this one, and if there is a force that is causing this.
3:08 Wouldn't surprise me if you could see Etna's eruption from both Stromboli and Volcano. If those two could talk, they'd probably say "Hey, stop copying me!" Is there an 'Etnian' type of eruption?
I think it is an interesting idea how much the sun's activity affects plate tectonics on earth, given the gravitational pull of the sun and moon and as you mention geomagnetic storms. It seems that a great amount of volcanic activity tends to follow huge earthquakes that are caused by subducting plates. But what pushes the plates to move could be just the buildup of stress or it could be linked to solar activity. It would be interesting for scientists to check this out and see if there is a link.
@@DuckHunterGaming While there are those who try and make such a connection, usually by pointing at the Tambora eruption and its effect on global climate during the centuries of the Little Ice Age, for it to be true you would have to find at least one such large eruption every cycle back through recorded history, prehistory and geological time. Depending on where in the world you are, you will find fluctuations in the climate for various periods of time since the last glacial period. For example during the Medieval Warm Period you have good growing conditions in Europe, while in the American Midwest there is evidence of drought.

Uhm, I think that eruption was pretty big for Etna, when it produced one of the biggest fountains ever from SEC, 2km tall maybe. Its maybe the biggest eruption from that crater, comparable with Voragine's eruptions! It also produced PDCs and luckily it didn't ended bad, inb4 if that happens at Vesuvius (the same eruption), some villages might be gg at that point lol. I've watched that paroxysm live, very very drunk lol, dont even remember wtf exactly happened, I clearly remember the big lightning in the eruption plume tho. Watched it recently, someone recorded it and idk why I got very emotional, never experienced that, it was monkaS momont lmao :D Like I have watched 56-7 paroxysms of Etna and that one, together with Voragine 2015 will remain forever and ever in my heart, I want it to happen again, just without destroying anything if possible hah!♥
If the height of the mountain is known, it can be used as a ruler to compare the distance, in other cases the use of triangle functions based on a known distance and angle.
Highly unlikely. Mount Etna has been erupting fairly continuously, with occasional breaks, for centuries, so it does not seem to have any influence over Vulcano or Campi Flegri. My guess is that it has its own magma chamber that is separate from those other two.
Curious as to what makes Italy so prone to volcanism. Obvious the ring of fire is pretty well known but I'm curious why the Mediterranean is so explosive
Italy is located where the African plate bumps into the Eurasian plate. It's a giant wedge under constant seismic tension which folds up the Alps in the North.
@@svennoren9047 Originally we had VEI-8 volcanoes in the northern part of Italy. Luckily they're now extingt, but the calderas are stll visible, even if the latest eruption happened 3,000,000 years ago.
The avg over the last few hundred years is 40-60. There are like 53ish active right now. So it's actually completely avg. I'd be more worried about the possibility of a large scale human accidental nuclear disaster than any volcano. Such as a nuclear weapon storage facility being attacked.

And I would like to add that also in 2015 December lava fountains reached 3000 meters of altitude.

Italy is located where the African plate bumps into the Eurasian plate. It's a giant wedge under constant seismic tension which folds up the Alps in the North.
Africa (more precisely the African plate) is pushing up against, and subducting under, Europe. This has lifted the Alps and causes the volcanism.
Maybe the deep water isn't cold enough
