(CS) A small volcanic vent has appeared close to Rome's Fiumicino airport, prompting geological analyses to find out whether it is linked to volcanic activity in the area.
The geyser, spewing steam, water and mud, appeared over the weekend at the end of one of the airport's runways. The nearest volvanic system, the Alban Hills, is located around 20 kilometres outside Italy's capital.
