Europes Highest Volcano Mount Etna erupted

Europe’s Highest Volcano Mount Etna, in southern Italy, erupted with burst into life, spewed ash, fire, and spitting molten lava high into the sky. 
This is 2019’s first eruption as the volcano on the island of Sicily previously erupted in December 2018.
The lava came from two eruptive fissures on northeastern and south-southeastern sides of Mount Etna’s New Southeast Crater. 
The eruption did not affect the nearby residential areas or for flights at the closest airport at Catania. 

About Mount Etna 
With an elevation of 3,326 m (10,912 ft), it is the highest peak in Italy (south of the Alps) and is the highest active volcano in Europe outside the Caucasus. 
It is also the largest of the three active volcanoes in Italy, other being Mount Vesuvius, near Naples and Mount Stromboli, one of the Aeolian Islands. 
It is an active stratovolcano and is located on the east coast of Sicily, Italy, in the Metropolitan City of Catania. 
The United Nations has designated Mt. Etna as a Decade Volcano due to its history of recent activity and nearby population. 
In June 2013, it was added to the list of The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites.
