Flights were canceled this Sunday at Catania Airport, in eastern Sicily, Italy, following the eruption of Mount Etna, which began spewing volcanic ash over the city.
“Flights to and from Catania, a popular tourist destination, will be suspended until normal security conditions are in place,” the airport said in a tweet.
According to pictures released by Italian media, cars in the city are covered in a layer of dark sandy dust.
Mount Etna, more than three thousand meters high, can erupt several times a year, spewing lava and ash over the Mediterranean island. The last major eruption occurred in 1992, according to Reuters.
