Mount Etna Eruption Sends Tourists Fleeing but Leaves Communities Unharmed
- On June 2, 2025, Mount Etna in Sicily erupted massively, sending ash, lava, and smoke into the air and forcing tourists to flee the mountain.
- The eruption followed a collapse at the volcano's South-East crater and was preceded by volcanic tremors and increasing Strombolian explosions.
- The eruption sent a towering ash cloud soaring approximately 21,300 feet into the sky and caused a rapid flow of volcanic debris to rush down Etna's slopes, though nearby communities remained unharmed.
- The volcanic observatory in Italy reported that the Southeast Crater transformed into a lava fountain, accompanied by nearly continuous bursts of strong explosions at times.
- Authorities confirmed no injuries or critical danger occurred, and the eruption stopped with local officials stating the situation remained controlled and normal.
