Mount Etna in Sicily has once again become active erupting large amounts of ash, reported Monday Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology.
Seismologists have recorded the eruption of volcano at Mount Etna and say that it is accompanied by the ejection of volcanic ‘bombs’ (large stones) and the large amount of ash in the area southeast of the crater on Monday night.
The most active emissions for duration ranging from one to three minutes occurred between midnight and two o’clock in the morning. These large volcanic ‘bombs’ reached a height of several tens of meters over the crater. By around 06.00 am the volcanic activity decreased significantly, but not stopped completely.
However, no eruption of lava has been recorded from the crater of Mount Etna
