You’ve probably heard of Sicily’s Mount Etna—but did you know she erupted this week? The eruption began on July 13th and though spectacular, it wasn’t a serious enough explosion to bring on any kind of evacuation in the villages nearby. The ‘stunning pyrotechnic display’ was the first of the year, with small lava flows rippling downhill in an incredible fashion.
Mount Etna stands almost 3.4km above sea level and has been active for thousands of years. Even the Ancient Roman poet Virgil wrote about the volcano, calling it a ‘roar of frightful rain’. That’s an epic way to describe a volcano, really. You can definitely place this volcano on my traveling bucket list—what a sight to behold.
