IN other volcano news, both Etna and Piton de la Fournaise commenced some activity on August 31. Fournaise has had a few short eruptions over the past few months; this is the first summit activity for Etna in a few years, though there have been notable flank eruptions. Montserrat also got more active on August 31 and there was a dome collapse a few days later.
There used to be Webcam coverage of the Etna summit; I'll have to check to see if there still is.

The pics seem to be long exposure pics (notice the star trails). They came out nice.
