With a volume of 0.5–1 km 3 (0.12–0.24 cu mi) [d] lava, [13] the 1669 eruption is Etna's largest during the last 400 years [4] and its largest historical effusive eruption. [67] Its lava field is the largest in the volcano's history [4] [31] and the longest flow at Etna during the last 15,000 years. [33]
The eruption continued at a slowly diminishing rate for 417 days, until 6 July 2009, making this the longest flank eruption of Etna since the 1991–1993 eruption that lasted 473 days. Previous eruptions, in 2001, 2002–2003, and 2004–2005 had lasted 3 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months, respectively.
Unknown eruption near equator, magnitude roughly half Tambora: Emission of sulfur dioxide around the amount of the 1815 Tambora eruption (ice cores from Antarctica and Greenland).

Grotta del Gelo ("Cave of Frost") is a volcanic cave of Mount Etna which is known for the presence of a large amount of ice. The cave formed in 1614–1624 during a large eruption of the volcano, inside one of the lava flows produced during that eruption. Within the two subsequent decades, ice grew and accumulated in the cave.
The 3,330 metre (10,925 ft) high volcano burst into action overnight, firing lava and ash high over the Mediterranean island. The lava flow subsided before dawn, but ash was still coming from one ...
