A powerful eruption from Mount Etna on Monday (June 2) produced a huge ash cloud and triggered an avalanche of volcanic material that crashed down the slope of Europe's largest active volcano.

A massive eruption on the Italian island of Sicily has sent tourists fleeing in panic as black smoke billows high above Catania, a city of more than 1 million people located at the foot of the volcano.

An avalanche of hot lava fragments, ash, gas and other volcanic material, known as a pyroclastic flow, began around 11:20 a.m. local time. Footage of the eruption gives the impression that the volcano is being torn apart from the top down, as ejected material rushes down the slope.
