Etna is the tallest mountain in Sicily, at over 3350 meters above the sea level. In 2013, it was included on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list. We can get up there independently or with the help of a guide. Contrary to what you might’ve imagined, Etna does not have just one huge crater which erupts every once in awhile. In reality, it has at least 270-280 craters, and each has its own separate story. Currently, the tallest point of Etna stands at the northeastern crater, which came to be in 1911, due to an eruption. The last eruption took place in 2019, on the 31th of May, in the southeastern crater. How to get up Etna? Is Etna dangerous? How far can we get independently? What should we bring to Etna?
