Thus the image of Etna on a webcam becomes one of the most researched in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another adjective with which this volcano, a symbol of Sicily, is often defined is \u2018Good Giant.\u2019 In 2021, with the strongest eruption of the last 13 years, it again proved that it is not causing particular damage, if not the Catania airport\u2019s short closure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent explosive activity has created a kilometer-high wall of lava leaking from the Southeast crater. From Taormina, you could perfectly see this burning fire splashing into the sky-colored by a thousand shades of red; anyone who has been lucky enough to see it, we are sure, was enchanted to observe it for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was difficult to look away from that beautiful and scary image, which has now made Etna the queen of all news sites on the planet. Even NASA dedicates to her the Astronomy Picture of the Day (the day\u2019s astronomical image), which portrays the volcano immortalized by a shot by Giuseppe Vella Sicilian photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had been monitoring Etna for a long time to witness a beautiful frenzy, and suddenly, around 9 in the evening, a little activity on the volcano began. Without overthinking, I took a 300 km journey to witness this show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, it arrived at its destination on the night between 16 and 17 February; the activity was over, but it continued to give emotions with its visible lava. I ran; I grabbed the equipment and started shooting. A freezing evening, a spectacular sky, and the meteors did the rest to create http:\/\/www.rainews.it\/dl\/rainews\/media\/L-Etna-non-si-ferma-colonna-eruttiva-alta-12-chilometri-e-le-sue-foto-stregano-anche-la-NASA-1d0e27c9-57bd-47f5-b42a-7fc6417ddb3b.html<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEtna has been erupting for hundreds of thousands of years. Located in Sicily, the volcano produces lava fountains over a kilometer high.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not only one of the most active volcanoes in Europe, \u201cit is one of the largest, measuring over 50 kilometers at its base and rising nearly 3 kilometers high. In the photo erupting last month, a plume of lava increases. Probable satellite traces appear above, as ancient stars dot the sky in the distance. Fly through the dangerous plume.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An irresistible sight even if the pistils and ash have created a lot of annoyance to neighboring countries and miles away. Despite everything, many wanted to dedicate a thought created with imagination to different shots of the volcano. Here is one published on Facebook after the seventh outbreak of \u2018his majesty,\u2019 as stated in the photo\u2019s caption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Etna, with the last eruption of now, becomes the queen of the webcam of 2021 Etna is always defined as the highest active volcano in Europe; it is persistent when its activity creates images and unique beauty scenarios that enchant and leave everyone breathless in front of the majestic and impetuous force of nature, as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9753,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mount-etna"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
