A big cloud of smoke is formed above one of the world's most active volcanoes, Mount Etna, as it continues to spew ash into the sky.
Mount Etna, one of the world's most active volcanoes, belched smoke and ashes in a new eruption on Tuesday, but Italian authorities said it posed no danger to the surrounding villages. Images showed a spectacular rose-coloured plume of ashes above the snow-capped summit, but the cloud had largely dissipated by nightfall, while lava flows continued to glow.
Heavy clouds around the volcano's summit have impaired visibility, hiding ash discharges into the atmosphere
Mount Etna on the Italian island of Sicily spews lava and ash from two open vents inside the SouthEast crater, with the fountain of lava reaching over 400 metres. At 3,324 metres (nearly 11,000 feet), Etna is the tallest active volcano in Europe and has erupted frequently in the past 500,000 years.
Mount Etna, one of the world's most active volcanoes, began erupting on Tuesday, sending plumes of orange and yellow smoke into the sky. Although the eruption is ongoing, Italian authorities say it poses no danger to the surrounding villages.
