MOUNT ETNA, ITALY -- Giant orange fountains of lava spewed into the air over Sicily as Mount Etna, Europe's largest and most active volcano, came to life.
Streams of orange lava flowed down the sides of the mountain, and explosions heaved balls of fire into the night sky.
This latest eruption was not dangerous and the nearby airport of Catania is still open and fully operating.
In the last few decades, eruptions have been very frequent and lava flows have often threatened the villages surrounding the crater.
