CATANIA, ITALY - AUGUST 14: Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in continental Europe, erupt again, spewing ash and molten lava in Catania, Italy on August 15, 2024. This eruption marks the sixth instance of volcanic activity at Etna since July. The volcano last erupted on August 4. The Etna Observatory of the Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology reported that the Voragine crater, recently active, resumed its activity in the evening and continued until midnight. Lava flows were observed down the volcano’s slopes, and ash reached an altitude of approximately 9.5 kilometers (nearly 6 miles). Local media indicated that ashfall has affected nearby settlements, and cleanup efforts are underway.

The lava fountain produced an eruptive cloud which, in the most intense phase, reached a height of approximately 9.5 km. Fallout of pyroclastic material in the locality of Piano Vetore and in Nicolosi, Ragalna and Pedara. A light ash fallout was also reported in Catania.
