CATANIA, ITALY - AUGUST 14: Mount Etna's eruptive activity continues, with active lava flows fed by vents located at 2,750 and 1,900 meters of altitude, alongside ongoing ash emissions from the Voragine summit crater in Catania, Sicily, Italy on August 14, 2026. The spectacular glowing lava streams have attracted an exceptional influx of hikers, tourists, and curious onlookers eager to witness the volcanic phenomenon at night. In response to this dangerous mass exodus towards the active lava fronts, local authorities have implemented strict roadblocks, parking bans along key mountain routes like the Mareneve road, and restricted access to the affected areas to ensure public safety. Meanwhile, the continuous emission and fallout of volcanic ash have severely impacted operations at Catania International Airport, leading to a total block described as the most severe emergency in the last twenty years, with flights temporarily suspended until tomorrow.
