Mount Etna isn't quite done erupting.
The active volcano experienced its first volcanic activity this year on Feb. 19, and hasn't really stopped.
Mount Etna is located on the eastern side of Sicily and is one of the most active volcanos in the world. Though not quite as famous as its Italian mainland brother, Vesuvius, famous for burying Pompeii and Herculaneum in ash.
Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) released an update on their website about the volcano's activity. "During the night of 5-6 March 2013, a new eruptive episode (paroxysm) occurred at the New Southeast Crater of Etna, characterized - like its predecessors - by high lava fountains, lava flow emission and generation of an eruption column that extended northeastward and led to heavy fallout of scoriae and ash in the northeastern sector of the volcano."
Dr. Boris Behncke, who lives on and observes Etna, was able to fly over the volcano and shoot video of it erupting from the Voragine crater. This particular crater hasn't seen activity since 1999, but the other craters on the volcano have been erupting regularly since then.
Does that hellish volcanic landscape look familiar? Footage of Mt. Etna was used as a backdrop for the battle between Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker on the fictional lava-mining planet Mustafar in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
Etna Walk's Marco Restivo also shot video of the eruption, and really catches the frightening dynamism of the volcano.
