Lava flowing from Mount Etna lights up Sicily's sky
- On Friday, Mount Etna began erupting from a fissure about 3,000 metres above sea level in Sicily, with dazzling orange lava lighting up the sky throughout the week.
- Italy's Civil Protection Department maintains a yellow alert level due to frequent Strombolian eruptions, which are characterized as mild and rhythmic with minor bursts of gas and magma.
- By Monday, the lava had descended to 2,700 metres, at least 300 metres below the rupture site, according to the Etna Observatory, which reported weak explosive summit activity with no ash production.
- The International Civil Aviation Organisation maintains a code orange aviation alert, meaning the volcano is exhibiting heightened unrest, while officials warn that Etna's unpredictable nature presents persistent risks.
- Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013, Mount Etna influences volcanology and geophysics disciplines; it previously erupted in January, advancing from 2,100 metres to 1,420 metres in a single day.
