Tourists climbing Sicily's Mount Etna volcano at night in sneakers and light clothing to get a close-up view of an ongoing eruption may be risking their lives, rescuers warned on Friday.
Europe's highest and most active volcano erupted in spectacular fashion last week, lighting up the night sky with explosions and bright red molten lava.
Not that I know what the best clothing to approach a volcano would be either, but uh...Sneakers and light clothing wouldn't be at the top of my list. Also wouldn't be at the top of my list for visiting a mountain when it's cold for that matter.
