Europe’s highest and most active volcano, Etna is putting on a spectacular display shooting lava up into the sky from its molten centre.
Etna erupts regularly, but rarely causes any damage to the surrounding villages. Although the local airport of Catania, based at the base of the volcano, would close during the night as a precaution.
Five out of seven prefectures in the Peloponnese, southern Greece, along with central and southern Evia were again ravaged by wildfires on Sunday, with 42 blazes contained overnight, including a handful of previously damaging fires in the greater Athens area, although new fires were continually erupting. Tragically, the official death toll rose to 59 — late Sunday evening — in the wake of an unprecedented barrage of wildfires that erupted since Thursday, fanned by gale-force winds, heat and amid widespread speculation of arson. According to a fire brigade spokesman during a Sunday afternoon briefing, 63 new wildfires alone were reported in just a 24-hour period, of which 40 were quickly extinguished.
