Eruption of Mount Etna Lighting the Night Sky

Italy | Monte Etna

(use stars to vote)

Mount Etna erupts with a towering fountain of lava, illuminating the sky with incandescent bursts. These explosive events are common along the Southeast Crater, where magma regularly breaks through the surface. The volcano’s activity is driven by the convergence of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates. Photo courtesy of piermanuele-sberni on Unsplash.
