"a recent survey revealed that for the population of the Phlegraean Fields the perception of risk is low...[they] forget that although they do not have a conical mountain looming over them, what they have under their feet is a time bomb."

The Guardian · ‘The ground keeps breaking and deforming’: life in Italy’s volcanic Phlegraean FieldsBy Guardian staff reporter

Mount Etna has become active again after a brief period of apparent calm. A fracture located at approximately 3,000 metres (9,800ft) above sea level, at the base of the Bocca Nuova crater, has once again started feeding a vigorous lava flow that is slowly advancing along the volcano’s south-western flank, Catania, #Italy

Light Pillar over Erupting Etna

Typically light pillars are caused by sunlight and so appear as a bright column that extends upward above a rising or setting Sun. This light pillar was illuminated by the red light emitted by the glowing magma of an erupting volcano. The volcano is Italy's Mount Etna, and the featured image was captured with a single shot during an early morning in mid-February.
