Mount Etna eruption 2025 has shocked Italy and the world as the volcano exploded with terrifying force today, sending massive ash clouds into the sky and forcing panicked tourists to run for their lives. The dramatic eruption, which took place near Catania, Sicily, was caught on video and is now trending across social media. You can watch the full footage on our official Facebook and TikTok pages.
🌋 Tourists React in Terror as Lava Flows Down Slopes
Screams echoed across Sicily as hikers and tourists were caught off-guard by the sudden eruption. Eyewitnesses described a scene of “total panic” as lava fountains, pyroclastic flows, and thunderous explosions erupted from the southeastern crater. Footage shows tourists running down trails, choking on volcanic ash and desperately trying to escape the plume of darkness.
“It was like the earth exploded under our feet,” said one American tourist. “We just ran.”
🚨 Red Alert for Flights – Ash Cloud Soars Over 6,000 Meters
The Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre in Toulouse issued a “code red” aviation warning, as the ash plume rose more than 6,400 meters (21,000 feet) into the atmosphere. Flights from Catania Airport faced delays, and air traffic controllers remain on high alert as wind patterns push the ash cloud northwest.
⚠️ Crater Collapse May Have Triggered the Blast
Geologists believe the eruption was triggered by a collapse of part of Etna’s southeastern crater, which sent pressurized magma spewing out in a dramatic burst. The result? An eruption that some scientists are calling Etna’s most intense of the year — just weeks after a similar event rocked the region in May.
🔥 Lava, Lightning, and a Living Monster
The eruption featured not just glowing lava and ash but also volcanic lightning, a phenomenon where friction from ash particles causes bursts of electrical energy. The sky turned apocalyptic, with lightning crackling through the cloud of ash and smoke. This rare event was visible across large parts of eastern Sicily.
