 Etna Volcano at Night

   October 05, 2022


    Stelle e fuoco sull'Etna (1)

   Photographer:  Teresa Molinaro
   Summary Author:  Teresa Molinaro

   Shown above is the glowing skyscape I observed as  Mt Etna (Sicily,
   Italy) was erupting on a starry night earlier this year. This
    stratovolcano is the most active in Europe. In fact, it's erupted
   so often the past two years that  new volcanic material has added to
   its height by approximately 100 ft (30 m). A larger eruption had
   occurred several days before ( late May 2022), but when I arrived
   weak explosive activity was still in progress -- emission of volcanic
   sand from Etna's South-East crater. I was on the opposite side of the
   mountain at the time and was intent on capturing both the starry sky
   and  Montebello's lingering flames. Photo taken on June 2, 2022, at
   10:00 p.m. local time.

   Photo details: Nikon D7500 camera; F/3.5; 30 second exposure; ISO 800;
   18 mm Nikkor lens.
