A lava fountain and a 10-kilometre-high volcanic cloud were reported on Mount Etna Sunday morning by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in the fifth paroxysm that Europe’s tallest active volcano has experienced since July 4.
Sicily’s Catania airport on Sunday afternoon lifted restrictions in place due to the gush of volcanic lava and smoke emitted from Etna, the company managing the airport SAC said.
However, SAC said delays and cancellations could take place after it was forced to reduce arrivals over volcanic activity in the morning.
