Italy

Mount Etna, the Rambious volcano on the Italian island of Sicily, complained to life on Monday, throwing hot ashes and washing in a pyroclastic flow, said the monitoring body of the nation’s volcano. There were no reports of any risk for the local population, which is accustomed to frequent eruptions of ETNA OA air trips.

The department of volcano, led by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology of Italy, said Monday “increasing intensity explosions” that said they were “almost continuous.”

By noon, Ingv Vulcani said in a publication on social networks that the “explosive activity of the southeast crater has become a lava source”, and the infrared images published by the group showed the lava flow by the face of the mountain.

The video shared previously on the institute’s Facebook page showed a large column of smoke and ashes that rose to the light blue sky.

The department of the volcano said that the eruption was caused by the collapse of the southeast crater of Etna, which released the lava flows.

The only danger was in the right area around the Summit of Etna, which was blocked in groups of tours on Monday as a caution, said News, the INGV official, Stefano Branca. A video posted on social networks showed tourists who had been in Etna running along a path to the side of the volcano while the smoke was scored in the distance behind them.

The AP cited Renato Schifani, the head of the regional government of Sicily, saying that pyroclastic flows “did not represent danger to the population” of the island.

Mount Etna is considered the most active volcano in Europe, and the most active stratovolcán in the world. A stratovolcano, what many people think when they listen to the word volcano, is the conical type, often with a central crater, which is formed by layer after repeated eruption lava layer on the millennia.

Etna had a significant eruption just over a year ago, when Observers treated with rare ring -shaped clouds swollen by their craterknown as vortex bubbles.

Etna has exploded at least once a year in recent years, sometimes covering nearby cities in a layer of volcanic dust, but do not cause important problems otherwise.
