Another volcanic eruption in Europe: first La Palma, now also on Italy. After a long break, Etna in Sicily erupted again on Saturday afternoon. With a massive ash cloud reaching several kilometers in height, another European volcano is now erupting. The first images show the black-gray ash cloud over eastern Sicily. Only a few kilometers north of Sicily lies the small island of Vulcano. Here, too, the situation is currently tense. A week ago, the first houses were already evacuated. Is there a threat of another violent volcanic eruption in southern Italy? The situation on the Canary Island of La Palma also remains explosive.
