Mt Etna in Sicily is the highest and most active volcano in Europe and on Monday night it provided the inhabitants of the region with an awe-inspiring sight.
A dramatic eruption spewed ash and lava from the south east corner of the crater, being visible from the nearby towns of Catania and Taormina.
Etna and its neighbor Mt Vesuvius, are two of the most studied volcanoes in the world, due to a convergence of different factors, including size, historic eruptions, ongoing activity and proximity to highly populated areas.
