Etna eruption sends lava and ash into air over Sicily
Volcano's
latest eruption causes airspace over southern Italian island to close
briefly, say officials

October, 2013
Europe's
tallest and most active volcano Mount Etna erupted on Saturday,
spewing glowing lava into the air and sending a vast plume of smoke
over the southern Italian island of Sicily.
The
eruption did not require any mountain villages to be evacuated or
cause significant disruption, though airspace over Sicily was briefly
closed on Saturday morning, according to Catania airport.
The
volcano is in almost constant activity, although the last major
eruption was in 1992. The latest eruption was preceded by a series of
underground tremors on Friday.
