Etna Live Webcam
Watch real-time volcanic activity, lava flows, and summit crater conditions from Mount Etna, Sicily. During eruptions, the webcam captures incandescent lava fountains and ash columns rising from the Southeast Crater — the most active vent in recent years. The feed is complemented by INGV seismic tremor data, giving you a complete picture of what the volcano is doing right now. Use it to check conditions before your Etna excursion or simply to watch Europe's most active volcano live. For more camera angles and monitoring tools, visit Visit Mount Etna's live webcam page.
Volcanic Tremor Monitor — INGV Real-Time Data
Official tremor chart from INGV for observing current volcanic activity trends.
The volcanic tremor is a continuous seismic signal generated by magma movement beneath the volcano. When tremor levels rise sharply, it often precedes or accompanies an eruption. The chart above, provided by INGV (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia), shows real-time tremor amplitude measured at stations around Mount Etna. I monitor this data daily to assess volcanic conditions before every guided excursion.
About This Webcam
This webcam is positioned approximately 12 km from the summit of Mount Etna (3,400m), Europe's tallest and most active volcano. It provides a continuous, real-time view of volcanic activity including lava eruptions, gas emissions from the summit craters, and cloud formations around the peak. The Southeast Crater, the most active in recent years, is clearly visible. For additional Etna webcam feeds, check Etna Explore's webcam page.
Plan Your Etna Excursion
Use this webcam together with the weather forecast to check conditions before your hike. Clear skies and low cloud cover mean it's a perfect day for a summit trek with Volcanological Guide Vincenzo Modica.
