Sicily can kinda steal the show sometimes when it comes to the world of nature.

Mount Etna: it’s all down to you.

Europe’s most active volcano has been erupting in a fiery show – and, TBH, we’re going to be sat here looking at pictures of it for a while longer yet.

The volcano’s latest eruptions began yesterday evening and these can last days and even weeks.

Must have been pretty cool for anyone on holiday in the nearby city of Catania and the resort town of Taormina – the giant orange fountains of lava could be seen spewing towards the sky from these spots.

Catania airport was operating normally today, even though volcanic ash clouds can cause flight disruptions, as much of Europe learnt when Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull erupted in 2010.

Authorities also reported that the towns around the mountain’s slopes were not in any danger from the eruption.

Over to Twitter, where people have been sharing some incredible volcano views.

This picture especially gives an idea of how different Mount Etna can look.

And there’s no denying the timing of the latest eruption is quite something…
