Mount Etna's fiery eruptions seen from space (satellite photos)


Mount Etna's fiery eruptions seen from space (satellite photos) Mount Etna has been spewing lava across Sicily for weeks during a series of eruptions captured by a slew of Earth-orbiting satellites. Etna, the most active volcano in all of Europe, has been in a state of eruption since 2011. The latest series began on Feb. 16. The volcano erupted that day, again on Feb. 18 and then again between Feb. 20 and 23.
