Mount Etna in Sicily has erupted, sending a ten-kilometre high lava fountain and ash into the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traffic to and from the island's Catania International Airport has been severely reduced. The airport is located at the foot of the volcano, according to Sky News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several flights have been cancelled, some have been postponed, and others have been rerouted to destinations including Palermo and Comiso due to the reduced visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"It's absurd, enough is enough. We can't take any more, ash is also falling on me,\" says an impatient tourist in a video, according to La Repubblica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Towns near the volcano have also been covered in black ash after the eruption began at 02.56 on Sunday morning, Euronews and La Repubblica report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Etna is Europe's highest volcano, rising 3,369 metres above sea level. It is also the most active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
