Introduction

Mt Etna Erups on January 12th, 2011. It is the largest active volcano in Europe, currently standing 3,329 metres (10,922 ft) high. Mount Etna is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and is in an almost constant state of activity. The fertile volcanic soils support extensive agriculture, with vineyards and orchards spread across the lower slopes of the mountain and the broad Plain of Catania to the south. Due to its history of recent activity and nearby population, Mount Etna has been designated a Decade Volcano by the United Nations. [23 Pictures]

    Absolutely Amazing Pictures. These pictures are ‘YOU ARE THERE’ types of being on the spot with your senses. The thrill of being there is not absent. Thank you Triggerpit. Love, Armand
