Mount Etna, Catania, Sicily, Italy As far as volcanoes go, Mount Etna has got a lot going for it. Not only is it still active, but it’s also the most active in the world, the biggest in Europe and easily outdoes Italy’s other two active volcanoes in size. Yes, it’s a pretty volatile mountain which erupts on a regular basis and occasionally blows smoke rings for extra dramatic effect. Whether you ride the cable car up and then walk to the summit, hike all the way or drive up on a guided jeep tour, you’ll need some thick-soled hiking boots and warm clothing. It might be one smoking hot mountain, but the temperatures at altitude are pretty chilling. Why Go? While Mount Etna may currently be the highest in Europe, every time it blows its top it loses formation and becomes shorter. So if you’re thinking of going to see it, then do it now while it’s still Europe’s number one. When To Go? Even if Mount Etna is not in the midst of a full eruption, there’ll still be smoke billowing out and there’s no guarantee going up will be one hundred percent safe. Some volcanoes are by nature, unpredictable and Mount Etna is one of those. During the winter the slopes of Mount Etna convert to a ski resort so if skiing is your thing you can really make the most of your trip. The mid-summer months, July and August are peak tourist season. To avoid the queueing crowds, try visiting in Spring or Autumn. Last Eruption: 2017 – with on-going rumblings Height: 3,329 meters; 10,922ft Map Location: Mount Etna, Sicily #info #EverythingsInfo
