Script:
Mount Etna erupted once again on June 2, 2025, sending thick ash and smoke into the Sicilian sky, as seen from the historic town of Taormina.

The moment was captured on video by Dr. Zaher Sahloul, a physician and humanitarian known for his global crisis response work with MedGlobal. His vantage point offers a clear view of the volcanic plume rising dramatically from the summit.

Etna, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, has shown frequent eruptive activity in recent months, with notable episodes in February and April 2025. While no significant damage or disruption has been reported, past eruptions have temporarily impacted nearby areas such as Catania's airport.

The volcano’s renewed activity underscores the ongoing tension between natural hazards and everyday life in Sicily, where scenic beauty, tourism, and geological volatility coexist.
