Etna afterglow, 4 April 2009


Etna afterglow, 4 April 2009, originally uploaded by bmanct.

After a fairly cloudy day, which brought fresh snow falls to the upper slopes of Mount Etna, the volcano clears up just before sunset on 4 April 2009, revealing its stunning beauty. Dense gas (mostly vapor) plumes are produced by the summit craters, and significant columns of gas are also seen rising from the craters of the still-ongoing (since May 2008) upper east flank eruption at right. View from my home in Trecastagni.
