Mount Etna, a volcano on the Italian island of Sicily, continued to erupt on March 7. It spewed a column of lava and ash that reached a spectacular height of 33,000 feet.

Mount Etna is Europe’s most active volcano. It has been erupting since mid-February. Fortunately, no serious damage or injuries have been reported in nearby towns after the recent blasts.
