On Tuesday, Mount Etna erupted again in Sicily, spewing a large cloud of volcanic ash into the atmosphere, causing the operation of one of the local airports to be suspended.
This was reported by ANSA.
The company that operates Catania Airport suspended flights on Tuesday after the second eruption of Etna.
Passengers were asked to contact their airline before heading to the airport, as some flights were cancelled and others were diverted to other airports.
The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) reported that the activity of Mount Etna was intense. They estimated that the ash cloud had risen eight kilometres upwards.
The last eruption of Mount Etna occurred on the night of 16 July, when lava fountains were gushing from one of the craters.
As The Gaze previously reported, the volcano erupted in late spring in Iceland on the Reykjanes Peninsula. This was its fifth eruption in six months.
