Original – Movie footage of Etna's eruptive episode (paroxysm) during the night of 16-17 November 2013. Places where the footage was recorded (copied from source):
00:00 Piano Vetore (upper southwest flank of Etna)
00:16 Piano del Vescovo (upper southeast flank of Etna)
03:03 Zafferana Etnea (southeast flank of Etna)
03:33 Santa Venerina (southeast flank of Etna)
03:58 Milo (east flank of Etna)
04:20 Mareneve road near Fornazzo (east flank of Etna)
05:06 Mareneve road near Monte Fontane (ENE flank of Etna)
05:43 Mareneve road near Fornazzo (east flank of Etna)
07:03 Fornazzo (east flank of Etna)
07:16 Tremestieri Etneo (south flank of Etna)

Reason: I find the quality of this video to be outstanding. Also, the EV is great. It's probably the most famous volcano in the world. Having footage of its eruption is almost a blessing. Also, have fun clicking on the times I've indicated in the caption to hear the detonations one after the other, and you'll discover that they sound very different.
