Italy's Mount Etna volcano has erupted. This has closed the airport in Catania, near the island of Sicily. Because the ash from the volcano reached directly in the direction of the airport and it disrupted the runway of Catania airport.
There was a terrible fire coming out of the volcano. It seems like a fountain of fire from his nose will burn the sky today. The eruption of the 10,925-foot volcano is spectacular from a distance. Because it keeps spewing fire for quite a few days. Its previous major eruption occurred in 1992.
Mount Etna is the highest and most active volcano in Europe. It also burst on August 9 two years ago. Lava was erupting from the top of the volcano. Six months before the eruption, the southeastern crater has been steadily elevated. At that time it had risen to 11,041 feet.
When scientists confirmed this with satellite and aerial images, they found that the altitude had increased. The northeast crater of Mount Etna was the highest in the last 40 years. But two years ago, the southeast crater rose above that. The volcano erupted at least 50 times that year.
The northeast crater of Mount Etna reached its highest elevation in 1981 at 10,990 feet. By 2018, it had decreased to 10,912 feet. But now again its elevation is 10,925 feet. The volcano has always been a threat to the surrounding villages and towns. After every eruption, the administration there cleans up millions of metric tons of ash.
