Europe’s largest and most active volcano Mount Etna erupted on the Italian island of Sicily on 2 June, sending plumes of smoke into the air as tourists ran for their lives down the side of the mountain.
The volcano is one of the world’s most active, such as in February this year when it spewed hot ash and lava. This time around, a pyroclastic flow of hot rock, ash, and gas was seen falling around 11.30am, while a fountain of lava was emitted from its southeast crater.
