Meanwhile, in Sicily, Mt. Etna is pulling Hobbit-level party tricks apnews.com/video/italy-...

Mount Etna blows spectacular smoke rings into the skyapnews.com Mount Etna in Sicily, the largest active volcano in Europe, has been blowing spectacular “smoke rings” into the sky since Wednesday.

NOT NOW GANDALF

Mt Etna looked at the sun and said: I can do that!

It's all about circles in the sky today

Remember that Italy is geologically a very "young" piece of the European Continent, (compared to Germany, for example). The vulcanoes Etna, Stromboli, Campi Flegrei, and Vesuvius are very, very dangerous. What looks spectacular can easily turn into a catastrophe for many Italians.

Not impressed until Mt. Etna also blows a full on galleon ship to sail through its smoke ring.

Etna, we get it, you vape.

This was pretty cool😎

Volcanoes are so narcissistic.

goddammit how did i not see the coolest natural phenomenon today

“Do you mean Happy Natural phenomenon week as in the phenomena are happy? Or are you saying I should be happy they are happening whether I want it or not? Or that you feel these phenomena are good?”

it's hepped up on halfling weed.

Mt. ENTa is more like it

I found that amazing

That's the way to #Modor.

Maybe it's a binary code message...look for 1 in the string.

Got jealous of the eclipse I guess

Crazy. Thanks for posting!

Looks like some really good Old Toby.
