ROME (AFP) — The Etna volcano in Sicily rumbled back to life on Tuesday with a "seismic event" followed by a burst of ash, volcanologists said three days after minor eruptions shook the cone.
A "seismic event provoking a strong explosion was recorded Tuesday at 0424 GMT (6:42 am local) in parts of the peak of the volcano," the National Geophysics and Vulcanology Institute in Sicily's Catania region said in a statement.
The explosion on Etna, Europe's tallest active volcano at 3,295 metres (10,810 feet), was followed by a rain of ash on the southeast crater, "where significant gas emissions are occurring," the statement said.
The institute dispatched experts on Tuesday to the site, but "the phenomenon currently represents no danger to people or property," it said.
Saturday's eruption, accompanied by streams of lava, was also at the volcano's southeast crater.
The last eruption of Mount Etna was in November 2007, two months after another eruption forced a temporary closure of nearby Catania airport due to flowing lava and clouds of ash.
The last major eruption was in 2001.

It’s Bush’s fault,isn’t it?
When was it Mt. Etna died so it could be resurrected??
Geez, I’m living and working twenty miles from the summit and I haven’t seen anything yet....
Hey I had a tree hugger on my local newspaper's forum explain to me that nature dealt with CO2 from volcanos differently than that from man made sources. I tried to get more specifics on this, but he just kept spewing more rhetoric.
Yep, just more concrete evidecne of man made global warming.

Edgar Cayce - Earth Changes
Edgar Cayce predicted that dramatic physical changes would affect the Earth and would begin with the eruption of Mt. Etna.
The Great Lakes would empty into the Gulf of Mexico linked with a time when ancient repositories would be discovered as people reached the appropriate level of consciousness. The three repositories mentioned are Egypt, the Bimini area, and the Yucatan.
Activities by Mt. Vesuvius or Mt. Pelee, or in the southern coast of California and the areas between Great Salt Lake and the southern portions of Nevada, we may expect, within the three months following same, inundation by earthquakes, more in the Southern than the Northern Hemisphere. Portions of the New York, or New York City itself, will disappear as well as the southern portions of Carolina, Georgia.
Land will appear in the Atlantic and Pacific. [Rise of Atlantis.} And what is the coast line now of many a land will be the bed of the ocean. Even many battle fields of the present will be oceans, seas,the bays, the lands over which ‘The New World Order’ will carry on their trade as one with another.
The waters of the lakes will empty into the Gulf. It would be well if the waterway were prepared, but not for that purpose for which it is at present being considered. Then the area where I am now located (Virginia Beach) will be among the safety lands, as will be portions of what is now Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and much of the southern portion of Canada and the eastern portion of Canada, while the western land — much of that is to be disturbed as, of course much in other lands.
The greater portion of Japan must go into the sea.
The upper portion of Europe will be changed as in the twinkling of an eye.
When there is the first breaking up of some conditions in the South Sea and those as apparent in the sinking or rising of that that’s almost opposite same, or in the Mediterranean, and the Etna area, then we many know it has begun.
There will be the upheavals in the Arctic and in the Antarctic that will make for the eruption of volcanoes in the torrid areas, and there will be the shifting then of the poles - where there has been those of a frigid or the semi-tropical will become the more tropical, and moss and fern will grow.
Strifes will arise through the period. Watch for them near the Davis Strait [between Greenland and Canada] in the attempts there for the keeping of the life line to land open.
Watch for them in Libya and in Egypt, in Ankara and in Syria, through the straits about those areas above Australia, in the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf
OK. That’s the good news.
Now what’s the bad news?
Good old Edgar Cayce, “I have the body”. Cured many people of diseases that modern(at that time)science couldn’t. Predicted many things that have come true.
The scientific ignorance of the large majority of the population (especially liberals) is distressing.
I've also heard them say that they realize 97% of CO2 is from natural sources, but the earth has adjusted over millions of years to this level of CO2 and can handle it.
It's just this extra 3% or so from humans that is pushing us past the tipping point.
Great image!
You’re in Sicily?? All 4 of my grandparents migrated from there. Is it beautiful?
McCain will stop all that from happening with his environmental plan.

Dang... another double post.
So why are people completely fascinated with absolute worthless garbage from nutjobs like Cayce when they could be learning actual factual info about, say, geology?
Here's how uber-elitist former Colorado Democrat senator, annual Davos economic forum groupie, and George Soros pal Tim Wirth puts it:
"What we've got to do in energy conservation is try to ride the global warming issue," said Sen. Timothy E. Wirth, D-Colo., the Energy and Natural Resources Committee's point man on that issue and chairman of the Alliance to Save Energy. "Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have approached global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so we will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy."
