Bocca Nuova

Top of the headland which separates Voragine from Bocca Nuova, the Western side, we let us have a view from above on a cone which spits almost continuously. Further towards the South-East, another cone, half hidden by the fumaroles, does as much noise than this one, altough it is further.3D map of Bocca Nuova

Episodes like lava fountains during ten seconds fill us with awe.
