Mount Etna in Sicily erupted on Friday, sending bright orange lava down the volcano's slopes from a fissure about 3,000 metres above sea level. Euronews reported that drone footage and ground images showed a long lava flow pouring from the rupture high on the mountain.
One man was filmed walking close to the molten rock, illustrating the scale of the flow against the surrounding volcanic landscape.
The footage captured the glowing river of lava moving across the terrain. Mount Etna is Europe's largest active volcano and draws thousands of visitors each year. The latest activity turned part of the mountain into a visible stream of molten rock.
Euronews reported the eruption began from the fissure on Friday and produced striking visual scenes captured from multiple vantage points.
