Mount Etna (of Italy) erupted today, June 2, 2025, producing a dramatic display of volcanic activity. The eruption began around 11:24 a.m. local time, triggered by a partial collapse of the volcano’s southeast crater. This event released lava flows and sent a massive ash plume soaring approximately 21,000 feet (6.5 kilometers) into the sky .NPRThe Times+4New York Post+4The Times of India+4
The eruption caused panic among tourists on the mountain, prompting evacuations as pyroclastic flows swept down the slopes. Despite the intensity, authorities confirmed that the lava remained within natural containment zones, posing no immediate threat to local populations .FOX Weather+1TNJ+1The Times of India+2New York Post+2The Times+2
The Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre in Toulouse issued a “code red” alert for aviation due to the ash cloud, which later dissipated by the afternoon .
