AustriaToday, increased volcanic activity at Mount Etna led to a plume of ash rising approximately 1.5 kilometers above the volcano's summit and moving toward the south and southeast, according to Italy's Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV). Meteorological models predict the ash will continue spreading southward in the coming hours. As a precaution, Catania Airport was temporarily closed. Mount Etna, Europe's largest active volcano, stands about 3,350 meters tall and experiences periodic eruptions that attract many tourists. Its exact height fluctuates due to eruptions and lava cones.
