A photo sent to ‘It-Temp Madwarna’ by Joseph Sciberras shows the moment Mount Etna erupted, with a massive plume emerging from the mouth of the Sicilian volcano.
Many tourists had to quickly evacuate the area close to the volcano’s more active area as others snapped photos and videos from afar.
According to Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), the volcano is experiencing strong and almost continuous Strombolian eruptions.
Etna, located in eastern Sicily, is among the most closely watched volcanoes globally due to its frequent activity. While its eruptions are often spectacular, they can also pose risks to those living near or visiting the area.
