Mount Etna of Sicily, the largest active volcano in Europe, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, erupted Wednesday night and sent some amount of red hot lava down the side of the mountain. Being the night, it is unclear if an ash cloud was sent into the sky.
The sun is coming up at Etna as this post is being written and I observe red lava and smoke at the mountain on the following high definition live webcam of Mount Etna.
We’ll see what happens next, as it is now late in the evening in our time zone, and must get some sleep. In the mean time, those of you in Europe just getting up, check out this webcam…

Etna has erupted in different ways over it’s age. It has erupted with the ferocity of Mount St. Helens, and has erupted mildly, as it has done five times during the past decade. Perhaps this is another mild one. Or not. We’ll see.
More updates as they become available.
