Incredible scenes show how Europe’s tallest active volcano has got even taller.

Sicily's Mount Etna has grown by 12 meters following eruptions on 4 and 7 July, and photographer and guide Emilio Messina was able to get a peek into the new peak.

His incredible drone footage, shot Thursday (July 11), shows the Voragine crater, which has become the volcano's highest point at 3,369 meters above sea level.

This exceeds the 3,357 meters altitude reached in 2021 by the South-East crater.

Emilio says: "In this video, we literally look inside a volcano . We can take a closer look by peering into the crater that is the new summit. The eruptions were so powerful that it grew 12 meters.

"And we observe something rare the incredible explosions it emits; the movement of air can be observed."
