Mount Etna erupted for the fifth time in a week spewing ash and lava into the sky.
The volcano in Sicily, the biggest in Europe, was captured in striking video and incredible photos where bright orange, fiery lava is seen rising.
Debris also spews into the air in dramatic footage of the volcano against the pitch black sky.
Lava rose to 1km whereas ash reached up to 10km into the sky, the Daily Express reports.
A tweet from Weather & Radar International said: "#Mt #Etna erupted once again on #Monday evening.
"The #volcano spewed #ash and #lava into the sky and down its sides."
Plumes of ash were spilled out as the volcano erupted with clouds of debris rising at least a kilometre above the summit, reports said.
Volcano Discovery said: "Once more, Etna produced a very impressive show of unsurpassed fireworks at night.
"The - awaited - 5th lava fountaining episode (known as paroxysm) occurred late at night and turned out to be particular violent, equal or even stronger than the previous one 48 hours earlier.
"It was the 5th in a row during a single week's time."
The eruption was even seen from space, reports said, with powerful images captured.
Tremors were felt beforehand with 'mild activity' coming before the eruption, according to reports.
Mount Etna is the biggest volcano in Europe and is one of the world's most active.
