Mount Etna is an active volcano on the East coast of Sicily, in the City of Catania. Chiefly it lies between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate. It’s the tallest active volcano in Europe, though this varies with summit eruptions. And more it’s the highest peak in Italy south of the Alps. Mount Etna is one of the most active vulcano in the world and is an almost constant state of activity. The fertile vulcanic soils support agriculture, with vineyards and orchards. They are spread across the lower slopes of the mountain and the broad Plain of Catania to the south. Because of its history of recent activity, Etna has been designated a Decade Volcano by the United Nations. In June 2013, it was added to the list of UNESCO World Patrimony Sites.
