The Etna volcano has started blowing rings of smoke

How the largest volcano in Europe, Etna, started blowing rings of smoke

This amazing phenomenon with the volcano in Sicily is due to the eruption process.

Magma, meeting with air, forms gases, which under the action of high pressure and temperature are ejected through the crater, creating a swirling motion.

Under certain conditions of temperature and wind speed, these vortices can form rings of smoke.

The released smoke rings retain their shape for some time.

The discovery of a new crater on Etna has changed the direction of gas flows, contributing to the formation of complex vortices and smoke rings.
