It is scary but the spectacular nature of this phenomenon fascinates every time. Etna is back to "roar". Yes, because what has been happening for a few hours in the Sicilian volcano is truly a spectacle. An eruption that is being recorded from the Southeast crater. Not only a powerful eruption but also the emission of a high cloud of lava ash that disperses towards the south. And so the roar of Etna scares many. But it is also fascinating because it is a natural phenomenon that has come back for months. To deal with a possible crisis, however, the authorities met to evaluate any possible intervention. Like the airport crisis unit.

And in this video that is circulating on the net you can admire the moments of the eruption. A spectacle of nature that captures everyone.
The technical investigations: the roar of Etna is frightening
And the roar of Etna was kept in check. In fact, according to the technicians and researchers of the Etna Observatory, as early as Monday volcano it was under control for escalating explosive activity. From the first surveys that were carried out in the Catania area there would have been no dangers. In fact, the explosion occurred very high up and did not affect homes and people. But other factors are also being considered. In fact, according to experts, there are some superficial lesions at the mouth of the crater that the technicians are trying to evaluate.
The new phenomenon
And these small lesions were controlled. In fact, the roar of Etna and the strong explosion gave rise to fountains of lava, a gigantic cloud of ash above the mountain and volcanic lapilli that reached Catania. Lo show natural and the column of smoke is visible for over one hundred kilometers. The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology reported the lava emission along the western wall of the Valle del Bove, where the lava front reached an altitude of about two thousand meters above sea level.
A shower of stones over Catania
The monitoring on Etna therefore continues. In fact, various phenomena have been occurring for over sixty days. Now fountains of lava, ash and rain of lapilli have reached Catania. And in fact the Catania International Airport has suspended its operations due to the lava ash emergency. The column of smoke and ash emitted from the South-East crater is over a kilometer high and the darkness does not allow to guarantee the safety of flights.
The Ingv experts also assured that the explosive activity did not affect the inhabited centers of the area near the volcano. Stefano Branca, director of Ingv in Catania explained to the Agi agency that the event in progress "it is absolutely not worrying”And is part of the normal activity of the volcano. And he reassured: "we've seen worse".
