A view of Mount Etna seen from Adrano, Catania, which is producing a new eruption on 11 February 2025. A new eruption of Mount Etna began in the afternoon of 8 February 2025. The eruption is characterised by a lava flow emerging from a fissure about 3,000 metres above sea level at the southern base of the Bocca Nuova crater. In the days leading up to the eruption, the volcano showed increased activity, including ash emissions and several small strombolian explosions from the Southeast Crater. On 10 February a seismic swarm hit the area near the village of Linguaglossa. By this time the lava flow had extended to over 2 kilometres. On 11 February 2025, Etna continues to produce a new eruption, visible from Adrano, Catania. The eruption that began on the evening of 8 February remains active, with the lava flow still emerging from the fissure at the southern base of the Bocca Nuova crater.
