Mount Etna is Europe’s most persistently active volcano
Mount Etna on Sicily has erupted for hundreds of thousands of years and remains Europe’s most persistently active volcano, often sending lava flows and ash plumes into the news.
Farmers still work fertile volcanic soils on its flanks while towns live with monitoring networks and exclusion zones during restless spells.
Living beside fire is a bargain with fertility. Etna proves a restless mountain can feed vineyards even as it remakes its own slopes.
