Tutto questo…. non è mai successo. Il generale Dwight D. Eisenhower quando arrivò con i propri uomini presso i campi di concentramento non ebbe il minimo indugio; laddove molti, probabilmente in buona fede, avrebbero cercato di restituire un’ultima forma di rispetto al cospetto

Questo è il fronte della colata attiva sull'#Etna! Si tratta di una colata di tipo AA, caratterizzata da una superficie ruvida e frastagliata formata da veri e propri blocchi di lava solidificata. Il suo spessore è di circa 9 m, come un edificio a 3 piani. Foto di Antonio Zimbone

Ladies and gentleman, #Etna! The snowy eruption at #Etna is still going on. The lava flow is now longer than 3.5 km, going down on the SW flank of the #volcano. The #Copernicus #Sentinel2 was captured on Feb. 12th.
