The iconic Mount Etna volcano in Italy recently put on a breathtaking show as its ‘Voragine’ crater came back to life after four years of dormancy. The crater displayed impressive Strombolian activity, sending a cascade of lava and magma flowing from its new cone. The explosive sounds of the eruption could be heard echoing around the 3000-metre altitude, adding to the spectacle of nature’s power.
Aerial footage captured the eruption from both day and night, giving viewers a close-up look at the awe-inspiring display. The new crater, named ‘Bocca Nuova’, became the center of attention as lava shreds shot out from within, creating a mesmerizing sight against the backdrop of the mountain.
The eruption of Mount Etna serves as a reminder of the unpredictable and powerful forces of nature that surround us. As the volcano continues to be closely monitored by experts, the recent activity offers a unique opportunity for scientists and spectators alike to witness the beauty and danger of volcanic eruptions.
