    Ash covered roadways, verandas and roofing systems of towns close by, Italy’s civil defense company stated.

    INGV stated it had actually tape-recorded a progressive increase in volcanic-seismic trembling– caused by leaving gases– which might be an indication that Etna is heading towards another amazing burst of intense lava fountaining, referred to as paroxysmal activity.

    At 3,324 metres (almost 11,000 feet), Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe and has actually appeared often in the past 500,000 years.

    The newest eruption was so strong it might be seen from area with the dust cloud being detected satellite images from the International SpaceStation
