Between 1 and 2 PM (Hawaiian time) on August 3, the floor to the Pu`u O`o crater collapsed in spectacular fashion. (…) You can clearly see the hardened floor of the crater begin to slump in the middle and over the course of 30-40 minutes, collapse into the Pu`u O`o crater. At the same time this was happening, a breach formed in the Pu`u O`o cone and a lava flow began on the flanks of Kilauea - this is typical for a spatter cone like Pu`u O`o as they are made of loosely consolidated material spit out during the basaltic eruptions of the vent. So, sometime lava will punch through a weak spot in the base of a cone and produce a lava flow, much like what we see now. (via Eruptions)

Etna Paroxysm - kd produzione (by KdEtna)

Un videomosaico delle varie attività che hanno interessato l’Etna da Gennaio 2011 a Settembre 2011. A tutt’oggi si contano circa 13 episodi parossistici e non tutti sono stati ripresi. Seguirli è qualcosa di meraviglioso anche perchè ogni episodio parossistico è unico ed ha caratteristiche proprie. Immagini e montaggio: Klaus Dorschfeldt alias KdEtna. Segui tutte le news, guarda foto e video sul sito etnawalk.

Best of Etna in 2011. Great images and soundtrack.

Culminating phase of the paroxysmal eruptive episode of 20 August 2011, around 07.15 GMT, seen from the “Belvedere” located about 900 m southeast of the New Southeast Crater. The cone is veiled by avalanches of pyroclastic material generated by the impact of countless bombs onto its flanks; the curtain of falling bombs is well visible at left.

Is the video with the most power I have ever seen. 

Pretty cool, but is this real footage? Or is it some kind of animation?
