The vents at the North-east base of Etna’s South-East Crater, in the Valle del Leone at about 2800 m elevation, continued to feed lava flows during 2-8 January. The active flow field consisted of overlapping lava flows that expanded into the Valle del Leone and the Valle del Bove and hornitos. By 7 January the longest active lava flow had descended to 2170 m elevation, and the area of the flow field was an estimated 0.63 km² according to Smithonian Institution..
