mount etna

WOW!! Mount Etna was erupting like crazy the other night. It has now been reported that lava was shooting 700 meters into the air. Most of the Sicilians we know say that they have NEVER seen it like this. Here are a few pics compliments of others who live closer than we do. The first pic gives a cool perspective with the city below. Makes you realize how small you are when a gigantic mountain of hot lava is blowing up over such a large city (that is Catania in the foreground). The second pic shows some incredible detail.
