Mount Etna, the volcano located on the Italian island of Sicily, became active once more on Sunday evening.
The biggest currently active volcano in Europe is erupting with molten lava and ash. Clips circulating on social platforms depict visitors evacuating due to the pyroclastic surge on the mountainside. Essentially, this blazing cascade consists of ash, gases, and rocks triggered by a breakdown at the north part of the southeast crater in Italy. National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) The eruption has escalated into a 'fountain,' with molten lava spewing from the crater. Over the Italian island, a dark plume of smoke and ashes continues to rise, reaching an altitude of one kilometer. Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre Reports from Toulouse indicate that the ash cloud over Mount Etna has risen to an altitude of 6,400 meters.
Based on early accounts, the molten lava made its way into the distant area. Valley of the Lion ('Lion Valley'). This remains far from any populated regions, hence there isn’t significant immediate risk for locals or visitors at this moment. Nonetheless, as a preventive measure, the alert status for air traffic has been elevated to code red. Catania International Airport is still open at present.
The Etna , reaching an elevation of approximately 3,350 meters, undergoes frequent eruptions and is continually observed by specialists. The most recent eruption occurred slightly more than a month prior.
