Looks like underground tension is rising, I see two smaller smoking vents in the slope of mountain and I don't remember seeing them there before.

Just came in and logged on a few minutes ago (french time 1640) - 16/8/19 Smoking eruption from Etna. Didnt expect this as had been so busy watching Stromboli. Cannot believe the smoke pouring from the top of Etna- huge eruption. Maybe see a bit of action this evening and tonight. Scary to think that we are seeing 2 huge volcanos erupting

Wisconsin Pam, if you want some more interesting info about this part of volcanic world, there's good application called Volcanoes & Earthquakes. It has all the tectonic plates marked, notification on volcanoes' activity worldwide, etc.

Wisconsin Pam: I found this information from Google: Mount Etna, like other Mediterranean volcanoes such as Stromboli and Vesuvius, rests on the subduction boundary where the African tectonic plate is being pushed under the Eurasian plate. Although they appear to be geographically close, Etna is actually quite different from the other volcanoes.

I've never seen Etna so active. Like Stromboli just before it blew, there seems to be new gas jets on the side of the peak on the left. Does anyone know if the tectonic plates are under these volcanoes?

Left hand crater was smoking earlier and now the right hand is belching as well.
