Mount Etna, Europe’s tallest and most active volcano, rises above the city of Catania, releasing a faint plume at dusk. The stratovolcano towers at over 3,300 meters and dominates Sicily’s eastern skyline. Its frequent eruptions have shaped the island’s culture, economy, and architecture for millennia.
