Etna 2011-2015

Etna Summit Eruption 2-8 December 2015

After four paroxysmal eruptions from Voragine Crater on 2 to 4 December 2015, activity shifted to the New South East Crater and North East Crater, with Strombolian eruptions, ash emission and lava flows on 7 and 8 December. Marco had the opportunity to film from up close the second part of the eruption, thanks to perfect weather conditions with little wind disturbing the quadrocopter. The movie shows strong degassing from the south flank of Bocca Nuova, triggered by the enormous lava flows from Voragine Crater which have completely filled Bocca Nuova Crater. Then it shows the strong ash emissions from North East Crater, the Strombolian eruptions from New South East Crater, and finally different views of the cooling and collapsing lava flows inside Bocca Nuova. The entire movie has been filmed by a «Phantom 3 Advanced» quadrocopter in Full-HD. Please contact Marco before reproducing, copying or downloading the movie, or to request the original mp4 files, which covering one hour of aerial footage.
