Italy's Mount Etna put on a dramatic display on Friday (April 11), with bursts of Strombolian activity lighting up its Southeast Crater and sending ash emissions into the sky.

Volcanic tremor levels, which had been rising steadily, are now beginning to decrease, though they remain at high levels according to Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV). 

The tremor's source continues to be located beneath the Southeast Crater, at an altitude of approximately 2,900 meters above sea level.

The aviation alert level remains at orange under the Volcano Observatory Notice for Aviation (VONA), but Catania’s Vincenzo Bellini International Airport remains fully operational.

At 3,324 meters (nearly 11,000 feet), Etna is the tallest active volcano in Europe and has erupted frequently in the past 500,000 years. - reports from Reuters, Agence France-Presse
