| Two separate plumes of smoke trail southeastward from vents on the central peak of Mt. Etna (no date on film). The current episode of activity lasted from November, 2000 through January, 2002. Etna boasts one of the world's longest documented records of historical volcanism, dating back to 1500 BC. Two styles of eruptive activity typically occur at Etna: persistent explosive eruptions from the three prominent summit craters and flank eruptions from fissures. |
