Ist Etna gefährlich?
Der Ätna ist Europas mächtigster Vulkan. Mit einer Höhe von 3357 Metern dominiert er weithin sichtbar die Ostküste Siziliens. Immer wieder trägt sich an seinen Flanken Dramatisches zu: Erdbeben erschüttern die Region, Aschewolken verdunkeln den Himmel, und Lavaströme zerstören Häuser hoch oben am Vulkan.
Was ist typisch für den Ätna?
Typische Produkte des Ätna: Pistazien, Honig und Granita – Sanpellegrino Sparkling Fruit Beverages.
Welche Früchte wachsen an den Hängen des Ätnas?
Das hat seinen Grund: Die Böden, die sich auf Lavagestein und Vulkanasche bilden, sind oft sehr fruchtbar. Pflanzen finden hier viele Nährstoffe. In den milden Klimazonen wachsen Obst und Gemüse besonders gut an Vulkanen. An den Hängen des Ätna zum Beispiel gedeihen Zitrusfrüchte, Feigen, Oliven und Wein bestens.
Where did the ash come from on Mount Etna?
The volcano observatory (INGV Catania) reported that after a pause in explosive activity from its summit crater, weak intermittent ash emissions have resumed this morning. This weak activity originates from Etna’s Voragine and possibly also the Bocca Nuova summit craters.
What time of day does Mount Etna erupt?
This activity gradually picked up late at night and peaked after midnight and reached lava fountaining in the early hours around 3 am local time. Again, a tall eruption column rose several kilometers from the summit of Etna and spread into a plume that drifted east.
What is Mount Etna called in other languages?
In Latin it is called Aetna. In Arabic, it is called جبل النار Jabal al-Nār (the Mountain of Fire). According to both Greek and Roman mythology, the god Vulcan (Greek: Hephaestus) had his blacksmithing forge located under mount Etna. Vulcan was the Roman god of blacksmithing.
