| The new lava stream of Mount Etna's 2001 eruption is visible in the FCC 4-5-3. At this stage most of the lava has already spread (but not all, the eruption lasted approximately until 9 August). Many dark coloured lava streams can be seen.

| | | | | The new lava stream of the Mount Etna's 2001 eruption is visible in the band 6 image. At this stage, most of the lava has already spread (but not all, the eruption lasted until 9 August). The hot lava is still visible in band 6 (hot = white) although it is not distinguishable from others in mid-IR. In the 4-5-3 combination, many dark coloured lava streams can be seen, but only in band 6 can the new one be identified and distinguished from the other ones. Furthermore, the snow is clearly seen (cold = dark).

The legend is also linked to numbers near the vents and fissures, as a way to indicate the sequence of activity. The sketch map is preliminary; it is a composite based on both fieldwork by Behnke and others, and already available maps appearing on the web, including those on the site of INGV-Sezione di Catania.
