Amazing Sapienza flow

The photo is taken at the new vent 1 kilometer from Rifugio Sapienza on August 8th 2001 (time approximately 21.00). 

 

To let you know what we did feel I sent you a part of our travelogue:"

Only a week ago Mount Etna was venting ash and lava in this area. It was impossible to approach the volcano here.Now we are climbing to the new cone expecting noting much. But Mount Etna surprises us..........!Impressed by the amazing sight of the lava flow at the new vent, we realize that we are very lucky to be here at this moment. The heat the glow of the lava, the little silhouettes of people at the flow, the size of the new cone, the smell of the volcano Mount Etna: a place in time which we will never forget!"

Thanks to Paul Faes & Monique Schilders for the report and this phantastic photo!
