Etna is in a new phase of volcanic activity, as a new lava flow has been observed within the Valle del Bove in recent hours.
The eruption began on the afternoon of January 1, 2026, when lava flowed from a vent at an altitude of 2,000 to 2,100 meters. The lava flowed towards the lower parts of the valley, reaching up to 1,500 meters.

The first impressive images, including a video by photographer Emilio Messina, show lava slowly descending into the Valle del Bove, a natural basin that acts as a protective embankment during Etna's eruptions.
