On Sunday, the mountain, which is more than 3,300 meters high, spewed large amounts of glowing lava into the air. In the evening, a thick cloud of lava, igneous gases and rock rose above the volcano to a height of 4.5 kilometers.

Last weekend explosions were seen and heard again and again. Ash fell on several towns in the area, such as Milo and Zafferana Etnea. However, there was no major damage. Operations at Catania Island Airport continued. On Monday, authorities lowered the alert level for air traffic from red to orange. Mount Etna is the largest active volcano in Europe. The mountain is about 3350 meters high. However, the exact height changes time and time again due to eruptions and cinder cones.
