Etna 2011: the great volcano awoke with loud explosions


Tonight huge fireworks display from Catania but many other points of view from the Strait of Messina: Etna woke up with a series of loud explosions from a crater on the south-east of the volcano. Webcams in the area are sending spectacular images of the phenomenon in progress, and flashes of light are illuminating the night of Sicily, but the phenomenon is clearly visible even from the coasts of Calabria and dall'Aspromonte.

Here are some links where you can follow the next steps of this activity started so intense

Signs of activity at the summit of Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano.
Water vapor and other volcanic gases overflow Etna’s summit craters, spilling out over the volcano’s upper slopes.
A steam plume rises from a collapse pit that formed in late 2009, the newest volcanic feature on Etna.
Dark lava flows from recent eruptions cover the peak, overlaying lighter, weathered flows from hundreds or thousands of years ago.
(Numbers on the image indicate when a flow was erupted.)
The oldest lavas are covered by green vegetation.
Eruptive cones and fissures also dot the landscape.
Frequent explosions deep within the Northeast Crater, which may presage an upcoming eruption, are audible at the summit.
These explosions were occurring sporadically every few minutes, as recorded by nearby seismometers.
This natural-color satellite image was acquired by the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) aboard (EO-1) on September 26, 2010.







Mt Etna photographed by astronauts aboard the International Space Station on August, 2, 2006.
One of the most consistently active volcanoes in the world, Sicily’s Mount Etna has a historical record of eruptions dating back to 1500 BC.
This astronaut photograph captures plumes of steam and possibly ash originating from summit craters on the mountain:
the Northeast Crater and Central Crater, which includes two secondary craters (Voragine and Bocca Nuova).
Locals heard explosions coming from the rim of the Northeast Crater on July 26, 2006,
and the plumes shown in this image are likely a continuation of that activity.

Will this have any effect on worldwide weather? I know some volcanoes have caused global temps to cool a little.

Etna is having a small eruption, nothing global here.
