all images © The Straits Times, in Sicily known to the locals as the “Lady of the Rings,” Mount Etna, seems to have a playful side to it, 

the volcano is both the highest island mountain in the Mediterranean and the most active stratovolcano in the world,

scientists say Mount Etna produces more vortex rings than any other volcano on Earth. The New York Times reported that the frequency this month “has broken all previous records,” according to Boris Behncke, a volcanologist at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology of Catania, a video from The Straits Times documents the fascinating formations as they drift through the atmosphere, amazing!
