An October 2002 eruption of Mount Etna, a volcano on the Italian island of Sicily, as photographed by a member of the crew on-board the International Space Station (ISS). Etna is the largest of Italy's three active volcanoes, and one of the most active in the world. This 2002 eruption, one of Etna's most vigorous in years, was triggered by a series of earthquakes. Ash-fall was reported as far away as Libya, 600 kilometres (373 mi) to the south.
