Mount Etna volcano in Sicily, Italy, erupted for the tenth time this year on Friday, sending a large ash plume southeastward over the nearby city of Catania.
Throughout 2011, activity at Sicily’s Mount Etna has been characterised by paroxysms: short, violent bursts of activity. Each event has included volcanic tremors, ash emissions, and lava flows centered around the New Southeast Crater, just below the summit.
