Wonderful colors inside and above Bocca Nuova.
Robby (not the spanish tourist...) on the rim of the W pit.	What Robby sees: the inside crater cone.	A new vent on the E wall of the E pit. A glowing round hole, ca. 5 m in diameter that emits jets of gas every few minutes.

A beautiful skylight below the NNE vent (cone on left image).

The lava channel.	Branching flow	Floating pieces of crust.
Island in the lava flow.	Observing the huge front of a aa lava flow created by a sudden surge of lava.

		At dusk. The shadow of Etna over the sea.
		Marco (on the small hill, right picture) taking pitures of a lava flow.

Lava flow and lights of town of Giarre in the background.	Etna seen from Toarmina (4 June).
