To all the tourists from abroad, DO NOT move away from the paths and never try to reach the summit on your own. There‘s been another unnecessary death. A man ignored the signs, did not plan their trip respecting time and fatally underestimated the weather forecast!
Etna is a very treacherous mountain and it never forgives a mistake.
please be safe and responsible while hiking. Your life is too precious!

🌋 Mount Taranaki — one of New Zealand’s most iconic mountains! 🇳🇿
Rising 2,518 metres above the Taranaki landscape, this perfectly shaped volcanic cone is hard to miss. Māori know the mountain as Taranaki Maunga, and it holds deep cultural significance.
It’s also famous for its dramatic beauty — on a clear day, you can see this incredible mountain rising above the surrounding farmland and coastline. 🏔️🌿
Would you hike to the summit? 👣
I’m thinking of building something similar to Liveuamap (the
real-time conflict map that aggregates news and social media)
but focused on natural disasters: earthquakes, fires,
floods, hurricanes, etc.
The idea would be to combine official data (USGS, NASA, NOAA) with
news reports and social media, all on a map that is
updated in real time.
Before I get stuck into building it properly, I’d like to know:
- Do you think it would be useful? What would you use it for (curiosity, travel,
work, family safety)?
- Do you already use something similar? Which one, and what’s missing from it?
- What would you add or remove?
Any feedback (even “this is useless because…”)
is a huge help to me.
A tourist died trying to go near the eruption. He was caught by a lightning but BEWARE: Etna is a big mountain and has many unpredictable risks. DON’T GO WHERE the security don’t allow you to, especially out of the signaled paths.

Below is the description from original post (not mine):
When Fagradalsfjall erupts after dark, the landscape transforms into one of Earth’s most incredible natural light shows.
.
Rivers of basaltic lava glow bright orange as magma rises through the crust along the Reykjanes Peninsula, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are slowly pulling apart.
These fissure eruptions create new volcanic land, constantly reshaping Iceland’s youngest lava fields. Watching an eruption at night reveals the intense heat and power hidden beneath the surface like nowhere else. 🌋🌌
