This is what Mount Etna looked like last spring when we were in Sicily.
This is what it looks like now (beginning last week).
And this is a color-enhanced picture taken from the Space Station (the red is hot lava, the turquoise is snow).
Wow!

It's beautiful. It's also scary, if you consider its power and the fact that all we can do is watch it -- and try to stay out of the way.
You're SO right! I love seeing volcanoes. It's scary, too, going to Yellowstone, and knowing that you're standing in the caldera of an ancient volcano, and it's still living.
What gorgeous photos! Makes you think about Pompeii, doesn't it!
