Italy: Sicily’s Mount Etna Reawakens with Torrents of Ash and Lava

• PressTV Published on Aug 25, 2018
  Mount Etna in Sicily sprung into action on Saturday, spitting out lava and sending columns of ash into the sky, after the volcano initially reawoke in late July. The eruption has not prompted any evacuations on the island although lava and rocks were being sent as high as 150m (492ft) into the air. An eruption in March 2017 injured 10 people after a magma explosion. Etna, which is the largest of Italy’s three active volcanoes, sits at 3,330m high (11,000ft).
