This five-minute video summarises the entire chronicle of the 1991-93 eruption of Mount Etna, which threatened Zafferana Etnea, with particular attention to what was known as the “Operation Cap”, which consisted of an attempt to interrupt the course of the lava with the use of dynamite, causing it to overflow into a channel.
