EXPLOSIVE pictures of Mount Etna have been captured by an awe-struck local man. The sheer power of the eruption can be clearly seen by the surge of lava and ash – as well as the streaks of lighting caused by the intense static electricity the mighty volcano caused. Other pictures show curious onlookers hiking TOWARDS the eruption in an attempt to capture photographs the mighty Sicilian giant. Photographer Marco Restivo (29) was among them.
