Video: Mount Etna has become active again in Sicily
Europe’s tallest active volcano—Mount Etna in Sicily—is once again demonstrating its power and activity.
Overnight, streams of molten lava flowing down the giant’s slopes lit up the sky over the island with bright red flashes, drawing the attention of experts and local residents.
According to Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), lava emissions are being recorded from a new vent that formed at an altitude of about 3,000 meters.
This phenomenon indicates a change in the internal processes of the volcanic system, which remains one of the most active in the world.
Currently, a team of scientists continues to closely monitor developments and seismic activity levels.
Experts are trying to predict the eruption’s future course in order to provide timely warnings of any changes in Etna’s behavior.
Despite the spectacular nature of the nighttime eruption, the situation remains under the control of the relevant authorities.
Volcanologists are analyzing the data to assess potential risks to surrounding areas, but no serious threats to infrastructure have been reported at this time.
