Abstract
EVERY eruption of Mount Etna since 1883 has taken place on its southern slope. The eruption of 1883, which was preceded and accompanied by very severe earthquakes, caused a radial fracture running roughly from north to south, from the central crater to an altitude of 950 metres on the aforesaid slope; but that eruption was abortive, only lasting three days, and forming very small craters and insignificant flows of lava.
