In a stunning display of fire and ice, a new video shot on Friday shows hikers walking in the snow-covered ground set beside an erupting Mount Etna in Italy.

The volcano's eruption lit up the surroundings, sending lava soaring approximately 3,000 meters above sea level, covering the snow summit in lava fire.

Drone footage shows Europe's tallest volcano spewing smoke and lava on a snow-capped Mount Etna. Lava and ash emissions have increased in the last few days, primarily from the summit craters. Located on the Italian island of Sicily, Etna is also Europe's most active volcano, though its outbursts rarely cause significant damage.
