	Mount Etna - Best of Sicily
		To the ancient Greeks, Mount Etna was the realm of Vulcan, god of fire, and the home of the one-eyed monster known as the Cyclops.
		Etna offers skiing in the Winter months and breathtaking hikes in the woods during the Summer.
		Since Etna is a strato volcano, with relatively cool lava temperatures and numerous openings (vents), nobody ever knows precisely where on its vast surface the next eruption will be.

	Untitled Document
		Etna is one of the largest and most active continental volcanoes on Earth.
		Mount Etna volcanic activity mainly consists of nearly continuous degassing from summit craters, strombolian phases of highly variable intensisity, and frequent basaltic lava flows representing a primary source of volcanic hazard in the Etnean region including the large town of Catania where more than 500.000 inhabitants are living.
		Although Etna lava flows are not very dangerous for the population, wide flank sectors have been covered at least once by lava flows in the last few centuries, sometimes down to low elevations, in the densely urbanized and populated belt between sea level and the 1000 m contour line.

	The morphology of Etna (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Its shape and structure are extremely asymmetric and complex, and a classification of the mountain on a morphological basis is nearly impossible.
		The reason for this complexity is that Etna did not grow as one single large cone, but as a succession of volcanic edifices most of which suffered partial collapse at least once during their lifetimes, and whose centers shifted from one place to another.
		Etna's morphology is further complicated by the presence of areas with more frequent eruptive activity, like the Northeast Rift which forms a distinct ridge dotted with eruptive cones and cut by numerous gaping fissures.

		This is in contrast to other eruptions of the mountain over recent decades, each of which was followed by a quiet period lasting from several months up to two years, a team of Italian scientists reports the online edition of the journal Science.
		Located on the northeastern part of the island of Sicily, off Italy's southern toe, Mount Etna's first recorded eruption was in 1500 B.C. and it has produced lava flows more than 150 times since then.
