Mount Etna

Mount Etna is an active volcano located on the island of Sicily, Italy. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, regularly erupting with lava flows, ash plumes, and explosive activity. Etna’s eruptions shape its landscape and have provided fertile volcanic soil for agriculture. The volcano’s activity is driven by its position on a tectonic boundary, where the African and European plates meet. Its eruptions are closely monitored to protect nearby communities and understand volcanic behavior, making Etna not only a natural wonder but also an important site for scientific study.
