Dominating the island of Sicily, in southern Italy, Etna is, at 3,342 meters, the largest active volcano in Europe. Morphologically, Etna is a gigantic mass that occupies a large area of the eastern part of the island of Sicily. The slopes themselves begin at variable heights around 1,000 meters, recognizing a typical truncated cone shape with a moderate slope. At 2,500 meters of altitude, where the slope softens, numerous modern cones appear, then, between 2,900 and up to 3,250 the slope becomes more abrupt, it is the somital building, a huge cone and several craters with permanent smoke clouds. It must be kept in mind that Etna is an active volcano and several eruptions occur frequently per year.
