Mount Etna Erupts

  • 2 days ago
Etna's 'Voragine' crater was back in action on Tuesday (July 2) after a four-year silence with vigorous explosions and incandescent shreds coming out from the top of the volcano.

At around 3000 metres of altitude, the volcano showed off a spectacle of its unusual Strombolian activity with a majestic 'cascade' of lava with magma flowing inside the new crater, called 'Bocca Nuova' ('New Mouth' in Italian)
