Italy’s Mount Etna has started spewing lava in what is its second eruption of the year.
Giant fountains of lava could be seen sprouting from the volcano, located on the isle of Sicily, as far away as Catania, around 30 kilometres away, and the resort town of Taormina, reports British Express. The Meteorological Observatory in Nunziata said: "You can clearly see the lava fountains, although currently modest, as it escapes from the crater in the southeast." An orange air alert has been issued, meaning that airspace will remain open but authorities will continue to monitor the situation. At 3,329 metres tall, Mount Etna is the largest active volcano in Europe. Comment below.
