Mount Etna's Eruption Sends Tourists Fleeing Tourists visiting Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy, experienced a dramatic and frightening event on June 2nd, 2025. A sudden and powerful eruption sent a massive plume of ash billowing into the sky, forcing hikers to evacuate the area. The eruption occurred unexpectedly, as seen in a widely circulated video on social media. The video, originally posted on Twitter by user @Aengenheyster, shows a group of tourists enjoying the view when a huge ash cloud erupts behind them. The hikers are seen scrambling to safety, clearly startled by the sudden event. "It was terrifying," said one tourist in an interview with local media. "The ash cloud came so quickly, we had to run."
