Mount Etna's Eruption Forces Tourist Evacuation On June 2nd, 2025, Mount Etna in Italy erupted, sending a massive plume of ash into the sky and forcing the immediate evacuation of tourists who were visiting the area. The eruption, captured on video by a bystander, shows the sheer power of nature and the speed at which people had to escape. "It was incredible," said one eyewitness, describing the scene as "terrifying but awe-inspiring." The video shows tourists running away from the volcano as the ash cloud grows larger and closer.
