"Mount Etna is very very big in area and 3.5 kilometres tall. Even from 12 miles away in Giardini Naxos from where the above images and video clip were captured, it looks very very big. When it erupted on the 2nd of June, it was both awesome and terrifying to witness".
As the side of the caldera blew out, a pyroclastic cloud grew in size geometrically and reached the stratosphere in 30 seconds! When you watch the speed at which the pyroclastic material flows you can understand the loss of life at Pompeii and Herculaneum "
