Mount Etna delivered a mesmerizing display of nature's power on Friday (February 14), with fiery lava cascading from the newly active 'Bocca Nuova' crater.

Footage released by Etna Walk provided a rare, close-up view of Europe's tallest volcano in action, as the Sicilian region experienced ongoing seismic activity.

Several earthquakes, with magnitudes reaching up to 3.7, were detected in the summit area—likely a result of internal magma movements beneath the surface.

Standing at approximately 3,300 meters (10,800 feet), Mount Etna looms over the town of Catania and remains one of the world’s most active volcanoes. While eruptions are frequent, they rarely cause significant damage.

With its first recorded eruption dating back to 425 B.C., Mount Etna boasts the longest documented history of volcanic activity known to science, continuing to captivate and remind us of Earth’s dynamic forces.
