Mordor Is Real, and It's In Sicily


It's been nearly 350 years since Mt. Etna blew its top in a major way. Until yesterday, when Europe's largest active volcano spewed hot lava for two hours—within shouting distance of these people's houses. Location, location, location.

Fortunately the eruption didn't cause any injuries or damage, which means that the residents of this volcanic village were treated to an amazing fire show.

I bet those people never pay to go to a fireworks show again.

One simply does not just walk into Mordor

I've actually seen a volcanic eruption when I was on a boat in the middle of the Mediterranean sea. But it was miles away, I only saw an orange glow very far in the distance and I didn't know what it was until I was told by the captain via loudspeaker. Strangely, it was very peaceful to watch.
