Volcano: Etna (see Etna at the Smithsonian Institution website in a new tab)
Type: Volcanic Plume
Description: The North East crater has been formed in 1911 inside the main central crater of the Mt Etna volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the world which is in an almost constant state of activity with a persistent plume emission, more or less water-rich.
