Sizzling hot lava streamed down from the snow-covered slopes of Mount Etna late on Friday (November 24), Reuters reports.
A substantial lava flow was evident in Sicily's skyline, originating from a south-east crater of Europe's tallest and most active volcano.
The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology of the Etna Observatory issued a flight alert, Italy's Ansa news agency reported, adding the International Vincenzo Bellini Airport in Catania remained unaffected by the volcanic activity.
