Etna Speaks

Yes, Etna, Europe’s largest, most active volcano is erupting! I’m so thrilled to be here to see the peak glowing at night. It’s very cool, but sadly, impossible to photograph. However, here’s my daytime view from Taormina. Note the smoke flowing left. 
The volcano has multiple vents, so look at from where it is spewing! Fortunately, we are in no danger at the moment. It’s a slow spewing volcano and it is monitored day and night. In fact, Eszter, our host, was saying that locals she spoke to that live on the slopes of Etna were glad for the eruption… We hope that means no earthquake!
