Jul 16, 2024: Major Volcanic Eruption at Etna Volcano

A significant eruption is currently taking place at Mt. Etna on the island of Sicily, Italy. For our multi-camera livestream, click here: Mount Etna is one of the world’s most active volcanoes and is in an almost constant state of activity. The fertile volcanic soils support extensive agriculture, with vineyards and orchards spread across the lower slopes of the mountain and the broad Plain of Catania to the south. Due to its history of recent activity and nearby population, Mount Etna has been designated a Decade Volcano by the United Nations. In June 2013, it was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
