Italy’s majestic Mount Etna put on a fiery display as molten lava spewed from the Voragine volcanic crater, illuminating the night sky over Sicily. The eruption, which occurred after weeks of intensified volcanic activity, sent a volcanic plume cloud soaring over 3 miles into the air in a dramatic Strombolian eruption.
Strombolian activity is characterized by relatively low-level volcanic eruptions that release a modest amount of energy, according to the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV). The eruption resulted in the closure of Sicily’s Catania airport as streams of red-hot lava covered the skies in a blanket of black smoke and ash. Nearby towns were also affected as layers of ash coated the streets, prompting residents to sweep it away.
The awe-inspiring display of Mother Nature’s power served as a reminder of the raw beauty and unpredictability of Mount Etna, one of the most active volcanoes in Europe. The stunning footage captured the sheer force of the eruption, showcasing the immense power that lies beneath the Earth’s surface.
