A Volcanic Eruption at Mount Etna

Paroxysms at the South-East Crater

Mount Etna, Europe's tallest active volcano, has erupted again, sending lava spewing from one of its largest craters. The eruption began on Thursday and has been sending glowing bursts of orange lava out of the crater and down the volcano's flank.

The eruption is being described as a "paroxysm," which is a powerful type of eruption that is characterized by strong lava fountains. The lava fountains at Mount Etna are rising high into the air, creating a spectacular sight.

24/7 Live Cam

You can watch the eruption live on the Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology's (INGV) website. The INGV has a 24/7 live cam that is pointed at Mount Etna's summit. The cam is providing stunning views of the eruption.

The eruption is not currently posing a threat to nearby communities, but scientists are monitoring the situation closely. Mount Etna is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, and it erupts frequently. However, most eruptions are not as powerful as this one.

The eruption is a reminder of the power of nature. Volcanoes are capable of causing great destruction, but they can also be beautiful and awe-inspiring.
