Europe’s most active volcano has been erupting for more than a week, creating spectacular images of lava, ash and volcanic rocks lighting up the Sicilian sky at night.
Mount Etna’s latest eruption overnight petered out on Tuesday morning, according to Italy’s National Institute for Geophysics and Volcanology.
Rivers of lava were seen gushing from the volcano’s southeast crater, with clouds of debris rising several kilometres above its summit.
The red and orange glow of the magma resulted in mesmerising photographs. Nearby Catania Airport was forced to close temporarily due to the amount of ash being spewed forth from Mount Etna.
