China News Service, March 4th. According to Euronet quoted Eunice News Agency on the 4th, since February 16th, Mount Etna in Italy has erupted frequently.
Due to the close attention of the authorities, no casualties were caused by the volcanic eruption, and residents did not need to be evacuated.
However, experts said that it is not clear when this round of intensive eruptions will end.
On February 23, 2021 local time, Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy, erupted again. The eruption started from the crater located in the southeast and the whole process lasted for several hours. The height of the erupted smoke was 800 meters to 1000 meters.
According to reports, on the afternoon of February 16, local time, Mount Etna erupted in Italy, and magma flowed down the uninhabited Valle del Bove valley on the east side.
After that, the volcano erupted many times, and the orange-red magma lit up the night sky.
The current volcanic eruptions will not pose a danger to the local residents, but the massive volcanic ash spewed out will bring inconvenience to the lives of nearby residents.
In order to protect public safety and the city from volcanic ash pollution, the mayor of Catania, Salvo Pogliese, signed a decree limiting the speed of city traffic to 30 kilometers per hour, and at the same time requiring people to start collecting volcanic ash at night.
People must dump volcanic ash in special garbage bins.
Marco Viccaro, a volcanologist at the Mount Etna Observatory of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanoes in Italy, said that it is not yet certain when this intensive eruption will end.
According to reports, Mount Etna, located on the east side of Sicily, is currently about 3350 meters above sea level and is a famous active volcano in Europe.
