A red-hot lava flow two miles long has been attracting crowds to the slopes of Mount Etna on the island of Sicily, Italy.

An Italian photographer captured the fascinating moment a man pulled lava from Mount Etna, in Sicily, to make a traditional souvenir ashtray. Footage filmed by Giuseppe Tonzuso shows a man pulling a small hunk of lava from the volcano with a stick and another man using a metal tool to form a cavity in the molten rock as it cools.
