Mount Etna eruptsROME, Feb 11 Friday in Sicily. According to the Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), the eruption occurred in the southeast crater of the volcano at an altitude of about 2900 meters, throwing ash and clouds of smoke into the sky at a height of eight kilometers. Three streams of pyroclastic material formed from the crater. The first two traveled a few hundred meters towards the Valle del Bove basin, while the third headed south, also traveling a few hundred meters. eruptions: “several flows are visible due to abundant fallout of pyroclastic material.” “In addition, we observe how (in the middle of the video — ed.) Activity seems to almost stop, and then resumes with a series of powerful explosions,” says the INGV Facebook post. Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe. In June 2013, it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In March 2017, ten people were injured during another volcanic eruption in Sicily. Etna's eruptions often lead to the need to close the airspace around the volcano.
