Early Thursday morning, southern Italy woke up to see this remarkable display — Mount Etna, Sicily’s tallest peak and active volcano, was erupting after two years of silence.
The sky glowed red above Sicily, seen above from Calabria, Italy’s most southern region. The skies were cloudless on Thursday morning and Mount Etna was capped in white snow.

Mount Etna dominates Sicily’s skyline on the island in the south of Italy, and has been giving people an incredible show pouring ash and lava into the night.
Flashes of lightning dance around the ash cloud as the explosion blocks out the stars. Before now, it hadn’t erupted for two years but people were able to predict this explosion from activity inside the Voragine crater over the last month.
