Incredible scenes show how Europe’s tallest active volcano has got even taller.<br /><br />Sicily's Mount Etna has grown by 12 metres following eruptions on 4 and 7 July, and photographer and guide Emilio Messina was able to get a peak into the new peak.<br /><br />His incredible drone footage, shot Thursday (11 July), shows the Voragine crater, which has become the volcano's highest point at 3369 metres above sea level.<br /><br />This exceeds the 3,357 metres the altitude reached in 2021 by the South-East crater.<br /><br />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 metres.<br /><br />"And we observe something rare the incredible explosions it emits; the movement of air can be observed."
