Mount Etna erupts in fiery spectacle after weeks of intense build-up

Lava spewed from the Voragine crater on Mount Etna on Thursday, July 4, after three weeks of gradually increasing Strombolian activity.
This footage by Giuseppe Tonzuso shows the crater spurting lava.
Strombolian activity is a relatively low-level volcanic eruption, during which a modest amount of energy is released, according to the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology.

I lived at the base of her for many years. Felt earthquakes, dealt with ash covered everything, and nobody was afraid - still aren't! She releases enough pressure every year to keep her grounded

[@navret1707]

Did 3 deployments to Sicily. On the last one, Etna blew her top. Impressive to drive up to the area of the top. Almost got trapped by a lava flow and had to go down the opposite side.

[@Robert-gb7ex]

Now that's how a volcano is supposed to look

[@ThisHandleIsNotAvailable.]

Carbon tax it. Tax those pesky oceanic vents too.

[@ozzy1887]

All the climate activists should go there and try to stop it.

[@riccinibivosa2059]

Bellisima!!! 💪💪💪

[@CataniaNonna]

Italy has several volcanoes...The island of Stromboli also had a mini eruption.

[@sporadics]

With Etna and Stromboli erupting so closely, one has to wonder.... What's next? Maybe the core's slow-down is manifesting itself on the surface

[@AhJodie]

This is in Italy! Wow!

[@RicardoGonzalez-yz1vp]

So much for climate change, been doing this for millions of years…..

[@oliverheaviside2539]

Who pays the carbon tax for this?

[@danielles7766]

It pays itself by new creation of iron and sulfur deposit

[@RicardoGonzalez-yz1vp]

I’m surprised Biden isn’t doing water drops to put the fire out…😂😂😂

Wow!

Ironic that happened on Independence Day.

This volcano is in Italy. Not America.

Not really. Etna erupts all the time.

I wonder if that's where that old saying came from? just blew it's Top.

[@kathleenp9643]

I believe so! 👍🏻

[@CataniaNonna]

She's not blowing her top. Mt Saint Helen's blew her top.

Who is going to pay for the carbon admissions !

5 years of pollution, stop driving now!

Boom more carbon dioxide released by that than every car on the planet will release in a year

[@jimmylieb5225]

the number of volcanoes erupting each year has remained pretty constant over the last several hundred years. the increase in greenhouse gases from human sources has in comparison skyrocketed over the same timeframe!!

And yet they all get to ride in private planes... smh

Greenhouse gases consists CO2...which our botanical life needs to give us oxygen.
Go plant more trees if you want to "save the planet"

Prophets have predicted this as an indicator of Earth changes to come.

[@rempseaheinamies9414]

Now everyone needs to buy at least 3 new evs to offset the climate change.

[@charlesdavis7461]

Huge harm to people within many kilometers of the eruption due to the poisonous gases.

[@CataniaNonna]

😂😂 you're clueless! Sicily is an island and the winds don't allow the gases to settle on us below.
Lived at Etna's base for many years. She's letting off steam so she doesn't blow up like she did in the 1960's
Italy is surrounded by many volcanoes!

[@SuadOsmanMohamed]

That means evegenlic Christians and Jewish will lose the war😢😢
