"Rare Pink Volcanic Vortex Rings: Mount Etna's Extraordinary Display"

TL;DR Summary
Italy's Mount Etna, the most active stratovolcano in the world, was seen spewing rare and nearly perfectly circular volcanic vortex bubbles, some appearing pink in color against the sky. A new pit crater formed along the volcano within the past week, contributing to the formation of the nearly perfectly circular rings of gas and vapor. This rare phenomenon, which can be traced back to as early as 1724, has been observed emitting "unprecedented quantities" of the rings, with locals referring to Etna as "Lady of the Rings." Etna is one of the most active volcanoes, with the last significant activity recorded in December 2023.
