I was there a few years back. You can take a bus to about half way up to a visitors center. Then you can take a ski lift up to as far as they allow. It was really something. Lots of lava and smoke. Brought back some lava rocks that sit on my desk. They look like they came from Mars.
Cool.
I look at this and see God bringing up his riches for us to use.
I lived in the little town of Belpasso, Sicily (where the first video was shot from), while stationed at Sigonella NAF. It was not unusual to look out the back window of our apartment and see a fiery red glow from the crater of Mt. Etna, or even from a side fissure. I’ve also been to the main crater in its “less active” stage. Years later, I returned to Sicily with the family. We weren’t able to go to the top because it had recently blown it’s lid, but did go up part of the way. There were restaurants and a hotel up the slope near the top that were wiped out. Like a lunar landscape...beautiful in a rugged way.
Kinda cool! Etna’s continual eruption goes back into prehistory, lots of great topics:
