Etna

It is a mighty phenomenon. At around 3347 metres, it is the highest and most active volcano in Europe. It is constantly active, erupting almost every year. And yet it is densely populated: Catania, with over 300,000 inhabitants, lies at its feet, and countless villages stretch up its slopes. Four main craters shape its form – but if an eruption occurs, it often happens on its slopes, when the lava seeks a completely new exit (lateral eruption). You get the feeling that the mountain is alive. It constantly changes its shape and the height also fluctuates between 3,200 and 3,360 metres. The high seismic activity in this region is due to the fact that two continental plates rub against each other deep under the earth: the African and the Eurasian plates. So Sicily is not only a melting pot culturally, but also quite literally in its deepest essence.
