 Etna Eruption Quicktime Movie
OK, I'm lazy. Click on the link to see a nice Quicktime movie of the Etna eruption that started two days ago. 
For still pictures, go to the link below. I don't like active linking to pictures from overseas sites because of the potential slowdown on FR page loading.

    There is an active Web cam that views the Etna summit structure. They had to move it after the flank eruption last spring-summer, so the view isn't as spectacular as it used to be. But you can still see activity at the summit when something is happening.
