Etna      

It is the highest volcano in Europe -11000 feet above sea level - It is still active and is only 600000-year old !!

Going up from the coast the view changes, from basal formations modelled by the sea waves, to the mountain, with vineyards, fruit trees, until the woods of walnuts, pines, chestnuts, oaks and birches.

Above 2300 feet a.s.l. the lava rocks replace trees and vegetation and are covered with snow in the winter.
