Europe's most active volcano has erupted for the fourth time in as many days, spewing lava and ash into the skies above Sicily

Dramatic photos show the blast from Mount Etna lighting up the sky behind the city of Catania on Sunday

No injuries or fatalities have been reported but a nearby airport was forced to close temporarily Mount Etna has erupted for the fourth time in as many days, spewing lava and ash into the skies above Sicily.

Dramatic pictures show torrents of molten lava shooting into the air and running down the volcano during the most recent eruption overnight on Sunday.

The blast lit up the sky behind nearby Catania, with lava fountains visible behind the domes of the city's Mother Church of Belpasso.

According to the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, the eruption on Sunday took place at Etna's southeast crater

According to the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, the eruption on Sunday took place at Etna's southeast crater.

The volcano shot clouds of debris several kilometres into the air above its summit.

There have been no reports of injuries or fatalities due to the eruption but a nearby airport was forced to close temporarily.

The Sun reported that locals living near the volcano said large volcanic stones had fallen from Etna as well as ash after the explosion

Etna is a popular tourist destination in Italy, attracting hikers and wine tasters to its slopes.

At a towering 3,329m, it is the tallest active volcano in Europe and Italy's highest peak south of the Alps.

Scientists say that during eruptions, lava at Mount Etna can get as hot as 1125°C (2057°F) and possibly even hotter. Pictured: Lava during Sunday's eruption

Previous eruptions have led to injuries, including in 2017 were 10 people, including a BBC news crew, were wounded.

Scientists have raised concerns that Etna is slowly slipping into the Mediterranean Sea by as much as 14mm each year.

This could result in part of the volcano collapsing into the water, risking debris entering the surrounding ocean and potentially devastating waves.

The 700,000-year-old volcano is also the second most active on Earth, after Hawaii's Mount Kilauea.

Situated between the African and Eurasian tectonic plates, it generates nearly constant eruptions of varying degrees.

Each year it produces more than tens of million tons of lava and over 7 million tons of carbon dioxide, water and sulfur dioxide.

Its most severe recent eruption occurred in March of 2017, when nearly a dozen people were injured.

But eruptions have been recorded as far back as 1500 BC, with a devastating eruption in 1169 causing an earthquake that killed an estimated 15,000 people.

In 1992, lava streaming down its slope threatened Zafferana, a town of 7,000, in what's thought to be the most voluminous flank eruption in 300 years.

Soldiers used controlled explosions to divert the lava flow.


Poster Comment:

Mt Vesuvius is nearby in southern Italy.

Today, Mount Vesuvius is the only active volcano on the European mainland. Its last eruption was in 1944 and its last major eruption was in 1631. Another eruption is expected in the near future, which could be devastating for the 700,000 people who live in the “death zones” around Vesuvius.(1 image)

Isn't that horrible? Earth troubles are getting serious. "Each year it produces more than tens of million tons of lava" -- is that possible without blanketing the countryside?
