Europe's largest active volcano, Mount Etna, drew attention again on Wednesday with a lava eruption. As a result, the airspace northeast and east of the volcano had to be closed, according to the operating company of the airport near Mount Etna in Catania, SAC.
Although no flights were canceled, passengers were asked to check if their flight was confirmed before departing for the airport.
Mount Etna Has Erupted Several Times Recently
Since Thursday, there have been smaller eruptions accompanied by weak tremors. Mount Etna, located in the east of the island of Sicily, has erupted repeatedly in recent months. For the people living around the more than 3,300-meter-high mountain, the eruptions usually pose no danger. The area around the volcano is a nature park and popular with many tourists. Since 2013, it has been part of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage.
