Mount Etna in Sicily erupts again after prolonged dormancy

 


Mount Etna in southern Italy has reawakened after a prolonged period of dormancy. Liquid lava flowed from both sides of the volcano until this morning, with flames reaching the sky and the area shrouded in smoke. The continuous eruption has alarmed even the most experienced volcano explorers.


According to the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), the eruption began on Thursday morning. Though the volume of lava has gradually decreased, flames can still be seen within the volcano. Two streams of liquid lava are descending from Mount Etna's New Southeast Crater, flowing to the northeast and southeast.


The volcano's last activity was recorded on the island of Sicily last December. Despite the significant lava flow, there have been no reports of damage, and residents remain safe. Flights from Catania Airport are operating normally.
