		</div><p>Mount Etna has awed even seasoned volcanologists in recent days with spectacular spurts of lava lighting up the Sicilian sky each night.</p>
<p>The latest eruption overnight by Europe’s most active volcano petered out on Tuesday morning, according to Italy’s National Institute for Geophysics and Volcanology.</p>
<p>For more than a week, Etna has been belching lava, ash and volcanic rocks on a regular basis.</p>
<p>Nearby Catania Airport closed temporarily, and residents of the town of Pedara said it appeared one day last week as if it were raining rocks as a thick blanket of ash covered the town.</p>
<p>Volcanologist Boris Behncke, of the national institute’s Etna observation centre, has followed the latest eruptions with awe.</p>
<p>Writing on the institute’s website, he said that after “gifting us moments of suspense” over the previous nights, Etna finally erupted in a way “those of us who have worked in this for decades have rarely seen”.</p>
<p>Referring to the activity overnight, he tweeted on Tuesday: “Did I call the 20-21 February paroxysm of #Etna ‘incredibly powerful’? Well, its successor, in the night of 22-23 February, was MUCH more powerful.”</p>
<p>So far there have been no reports of damage or injuries.</p>
