Mount Etna, one of the world's most active volcanoes, erupted once more early on Saturday, with ash and lava spewing from the southeastern crater. The eruption, which began late Friday night, continued through midday, local sources reported.
The Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology confirmed the volcanic activity at the southeastern crater, which is known for its frequent eruptions. The volcano, which stands at 3,357 meters (11,014 feet) in height, has been in an almost constant state of activity, with the last significant eruption occurring in November 2024.
Due to the ash clouds produced by the eruption, the institute issued a red code warning for aircraft flying in the region. However, the warning was later lifted as the situation was assessed.
Mount Etna remains a significant geological feature of southern Italy, drawing attention for its consistent eruptions, which have impacted local communities and the surrounding environment.
