Mt Etna in spectacular eruption
Europe's only active volcano, Mount Etna, sent streams of red hot lava into the sky on Saturday (March 16) as it continued a series of recent eruptions. The eruption reached a height of around 2,900 metres at a new crater on the southeast face of the volcano. As lava streamed down the side of the volcano, experts said the local population was in no danger. Etna, which is located above the Sicilian town of Catania, often erupts but rarely causes damage.
