Etna has kept up its pace as 2014 started, with new lava flows in the Valle del Bove. This image was taken just before that eruption began, but clearly shows the row of active craters on the summit ridge (including the New Southeast Crater with its small plume). The slopes of Etna as also covered in other small cones from previous eruptions.
