    Mount Etna

    July 21, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Mount Etna is one of the world's most active volcanoes and is being very active at the moment. All the signs point to an eruption shortly. It does not shower rocks or ash, just slowly overflows with lava.

    The amount of steam rising from it presently is apparently a good sign that an eruption is imminent.

    It is 3357m high, but you can only visit to a point 1986m high.

    Whilst we were up there, a circle of steam appeared, which is extremely rare and another sign that an eruption is near. It is caused by exploding gas bubbles in the crater.
