Sicily's Mount Etna is actively erupting, attracting thousands of tourists keen on capturing selfies with the flowing lava. Local authorities, including Mayor Fabio Mancuso, stress the dangers and urge people to maintain a safe distance. The influx of thrill-seekers not only endangers themselves but also obstructs rescue efforts, as emergency vehicles find access blocked by parked cars. Rescues have become necessary for lost individuals navigating the hazardous snowy trek toward the volcanic activity, highlighting the risks associated with this natural spectacle.
"Etna is giving us a breathtaking spectacle: A lava flow has reached our territory... A lot of people are trying to get closer to admire this natural phenomenon, but it is extremely dangerous!"
"With the dark, the risk of falling and sinking into the snow increases proportionally with the increase of people."
