  • <default>Mount Etna</default> Location Position Ruler Appearance Mount Etna is an active stratovolcano on the East coast of Sicily, Italy. It is the tallest active volcano in Europe and it is the highest mountain in Italy, south of the Alps. Mount Etna is only about two and a half times the height of the next largest, Mount Vesuvius. 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 across the lower slopes of the mountain. Due to its history of recent activity and nearby population, Mount Etna has been designated a decade volcano by the United Nations.

It is the highest mountain in Italy south of the Alps. Etna covers an area of with a basal circumference of 140 km. This makes it by far the largest of the three active volcanoes in Italy, being about two and a half times the height of the next largest, Mount Vesuvius.

  • Mount Etna (Aetna in Latin, also known as Muncibeddu in Sicilian and Mongibello in Italian, a combination of Latin mons and Arabic gibel, both meaning mountain) is a volcano on the east coast of Sicily, close to Messina and Catania.

It is the largest volcano in Europe, and the highest mountain in Italy south of the Alps, about two and a half times the height of the next largest, Mount Vesuvius. It is very active.
