Spectacular Mount Etna eruption amazes tourists as activity intensifies

Visitors were captivated by the eruption of Mount Etna on Sunday as the skies over Sicily's Catania were covered in black smoke and ash.
Volcanic activity from Etna's 'Voragine' crater has intensified this week, with vigorous explosions following a four-year dormancy and a guide for Alpine Etna Sud, Giuseppe Amendolia, said he was taking a closer look after the second volcanic convulsion, or paroxysmal activity, in less than 48 hours.
Etna and Stromboli are the most explosive volcanoes, erupting more violently due to minute variations in the chemical composition of their magma.
The 3,330-metre-high volcano Mount Etna, Europe's tallest active volcano, is believed to have the longest documented history of eruptions amongst all volcanoes, with records dating back to as early as 425 B.C.

Mount Etna Paved The Way For "10 Years - No Tax" Policy
Mount Etna's explosive eruption in 122 BC brought massive destruction to the ancient village of Catania (the current city of Catania).
Roofs were blown off, houses collapsed, and many families were displaced. Such was the devastation. The citizens were exempted from paying tax to The Roman government for ten years--all thanks to Mount Etna!

How ignorant

[@Hell_bacon]

Since I’m Italian I can confirm that Etna erupted and now Stromboli is close to eruption

[@paulinedrewery3759]

I think if I was a tourist there I,d be on the plane home quick sharp.Stromboli in Italy is also erupting now.

And you would have ended up blocked at the airport anyway.
When this happens they close the air space because the particles in the air can cause problems with the engines.

Good thing that Volcanic eruptions have nothing to do with climate change! Lol

Ban Volcanos!!!!

[@HaloFlemz86]

Look at the land around the the mt too. Nothing is growing , it’s dead earth.

[@robertglennienz]

Hi. Most of that is probably comparatively recent lava, and it is close enough to the crater to be regularly pounded by lava bombs, lapilli and whatever else the volcano conjures up.

Regardless of what human thinks still weak ashes and non sense being. The holy scriptures his word is powerul perfect words!
