Mount Etna is an iconic attraction at the highest point of Mount Etna on the east coast of Sicily, covering an uninhabited area of 19,237 hectares. Mount Etna is the highest mountain on the Mediterranean island and the most active stratovolcano in the world. The volcano has an eruptive history dating back 500,000 years, of which at least 2,700 years of eruptive activity have been recorded. Etna's almost continuous eruptive activity continues to influence volcanology, geophysics and other earth science disciplines. The volcano also supports important terrestrial ecosystems, including endemic flora and fauna, and its activity makes it a natural laboratory for studying ecological and biological processes. The diversity and accessibility of volcanic features such as craters, cinder cones, lava flows and the Valle de Bove depression make the site a prime destination for research and education.
