Explanation:
Mt. Etna has been erupting for hundreds of thousands of years.
In late October of last year, however,
earthquakes triggered a particularly vigorous outburst from this
well known volcano on the
Italian island of Sicily.
Local schools were closed and
air-traffic re-routed as
hot lava poured out and
ash spewed out and settled as far away as
Libya.
Pictured above was the
Mt. Etna ash plume as it appeared to astronauts on the
International Space Station.
The view looks toward the southeast.
Light colored
smoke is due to
forest fires caused by
lava on the
volcano's north face.
