Etna's lava flow halts advance - for now
Fountains of ash, rock and sand rained down on Sicily’s Mount Etna, but a river of molten lava that had threatened to swallow up a tourist station stopped its fiery advance.
Emergency officials welcomed Etna’s truce, but warned that Europe’s most active volcano still was not finished after two weeks of round-the-clock eruptions, and that the Rifugio Sapienza tourist station was still at risk.
