Mount Etna's Eruption Sends Ash Plume Over Sicily A powerful eruption of Mount Etna, one of the world's most active volcanoes, sent a massive ash plume billowing into the sky over Sicily on Monday, June 2, 2025. The event, captured on video by Andrea Morosini via Storyful, showcased the volcano's impressive power. The ash cloud was so significant that it was visible from miles around. "It was incredible," said one local resident, who wished to remain anonymous. "I've lived near Etna my whole life, and I've never seen anything quite like this." The eruption, while visually stunning, also served as a reminder of the potential dangers associated with volcanic activity. Authorities monitored the situation closely, issuing warnings to residents and tourists in the affected areas. Experts from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) are continuing to analyze the event and assess any potential long-term impacts. Despite the dramatic visuals, no injuries or significant damage have been reported, offering a sense of relief amidst the powerful display of nature's force.
