The lava flow continued its path even today, reaching the area of the Centenary Mountains, stopping at an estimated altitude between 1700 and 1800 meters. In the meantime, however, explosive activity at the south-east crater of Etna (which for some time had become the highest peak of the Sicilian volcano) also resumed in the late morning.
