L'Etna est entré en éruption ! #shorts

Le volcan Etna, en Sicile, est entré en éruption ce lundi 2 juin 2025 ! L'éruption et le nuage de cendres ont provoqué un mouvement de panique sur un flanc du mont, souvent fréquenté par des touristes et des randonneurs. Le président de la région de Sicile a déclaré qu'il n'y avait aucun danger pour la population. Des experts ont aussi assuré que la coulée n'avait pas atteint une zone fréquentée par les touristes. Une alerte rouge émise pour les autorités aériennes assure que la hauteur du nuage volcanique est estimée à 6,5km. L'aéroport de Catane, situé à proximité, reste pour l'instant opérationnel. Des caméras de surveillance ont capté "une coulée pyroclastique probablement causée par un effondrememnt sur le flanc nord du cratère sud-est", a précisé l'institut national de géophysique et de volcanologie. Une coulée pyroclastique se produit lorsque des roches volcaniques, des cendres et des gaz chauds dévalent les pentes d'un volcan.
