This morning at dawn Etna looked like this from Catania, with the two smoking craters, the Bocca Nuova crater and the southeast, while the lava flows visible only from the southeast side, were marked and rather large, but almost completely extinguished. Unfortunately, the weather, which has not yet stabilized, has clouded the volcano again, making it invisible again. Catania, Italy, on May 23, 2023. Editorial Usage Only.
