Uploaded July 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
Mount Etna is erupting again in Sicily, Italy, with strong Strombolian activity and ash emissions from the summit crater area. The latest activity began on July 5, 2026, with ash emission reported from the Voragine crater area and the aviation color code raised to RED due to ongoing ash activity. VAAC Toulouse reported the eruption began at 05:45 UTC, with ash emission ongoing later in the day.

This video shows the dramatic eruption activity at one of the world’s most active volcanoes, as ash rises above Mount Etna and activity continues around the summit craters. Etna’s eruptions can change quickly, with lava flows, explosive bursts, ash clouds, and glowing nighttime activity often visible from cameras around eastern Sicily.

About Mount Etna

📍 Location: Sicily, Italy
🌋 Volcano Type: Stratovolcano
⛰️ Elevation: Approximately 3,330 m (10,925 ft), though it changes following major eruptions.
🌍 Europe's largest and most active volcano.
🏛️ A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2013.

The Valle del Bove is a massive horseshoe-shaped depression on Etna's eastern flank that naturally channels many lava flows away from nearby communities, making it one of the safest and most spectacular locations to observe the volcano's eruptive activity.
