Images were captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2C satellite as it passed overhead just minutes after the eruption began.

At 11:24am local time, experts believe that a large part of the southeastern crater collapsed, triggering an avalanche of rock and ash known as a pyroclastic flow.

The eruption ultimately proved to be harmless but these images reveal the immense destructive potential of the 10,800 ft ( 3,300 metres ) volcano.

The 500,000-year-old volcano has been spewing lava during repeated outbursts in May .

Etna 's most destructive eruption covered 14 villages and towns in lava flows and earthquakes from the volcano.

The eruption, which lasted several weeks , killed nearly 20,000 people.
