Mount Etna is active: Watch Sicily’s volcano burst to life today
Mount Etna continues to put on a beautiful but dangerous show today as the active volcano continues to erupt, sending ash nearly seven miles into the sky. The volcano has been active for almost a week, with new eruptions occurring every few days and causing a brief closure of Italy’s Catania airport yesterday morning.
Mount Etna is one of the few active volcanoes in the world, so its consistent eruptions are getting a lot of attention from Twitter. From concerns to jokes, many users have something to say about the active volcano and its eruptions over the past week.
