Catania airport reopens after another eruption from Mount Etna
November 30, 2013 – Catania, ITALY - The
eastern Sicilian city of Catania’s Fontanarossa airport reopened on
Friday after Mount Etna’s recent eruption halted flights there in recent
days, the airport said. Following a quiet summer, Europe’s most active
volcano spewed molten lava up thousands of feet high as thick ash clouds
spread for miles around. Officials said no serious damage has been
caused by the eruption, which caused Etna to produce rare series of
perfect steam rings. A dark cloud of tiny rock fragments spread over the
island leaving cars, road and beaches covered in a thick black layer
earlier this month. Etna’s last major eruption was in 1992 but it has
regular smaller ones. –Adnkronos
