CATANIA, ITALY - AUGUST 04: A view of the smoke rising from Etna volcano after strombolic activity resulted in the fifth major eruption since volcanic activity resumed in late June on August 04, 2024 in Catania, Italy. At dawn on July 04, from the Voragine crater, a massive fountain of lava produced a column of ash and lapilli more than 10 kilometers high that rose above the volcano and was carried by the wind in an east-southeast direction, reaching mainly the town of Zafferana Etnea and neighboring towns. Due to the large amount of ash dispersed into the atmosphere, a sector of Catania International Airport was closed, necessitating a reduction in incoming air traffic.
