 ETNA NEWS, 22 JULY - 15 AUGUST 2001
On the evening of 17 July a second eruptive fissure became active to the N of the Montagnola (a large pyroclastic cone formed in 1763, on which the Poseidon's live cam is located) and emitted a major lava flow that spread out toward the Valle del Bove rim.
The activity of the explosive vent on the N side of the Montagnola, at about 2600 m elevation, was majestic, with dense volutes of dark gray ash rising hundreds of meters, punctuated by spectacular bursts of incandescent bombs that rose up to 200 m high.
However, new eruptive vents opened on 27 July near the "Monte del Lago", closer to the Montagnola, and a new lava flow began to run toward the S part of the Valle del Bove, covering a part of the Canale della Montagnola, a popular excursion route.
