Mount Etna erupted in May last year. A cloud of black smoke poured out of the crater and the airport was closed due to volcanic ash in the air. Eruptions are more common. More than two years ago, an eruption of Etna followed by an earthquake caused a lot of damage. Dozens of people were injured and 1,600 homes were damaged.
