The Journey
Etna's 2001 Eruptive Vent
Journey to the slopes of Mount Etna and witness the awe-inspiring 2001 eruptive vent, a stark lunar landscape forged from basalt rocks. Feel the warmth beneath your feet and inhale the pungent scent of sulfur, a testament to the volcano's enduring activity. This lateral explosion crater, with its layered lava walls and glowing rocks, offers a unique glimpse into the dynamic magma processes that shaped this volcanic realm. Discover volcanic bombs and new fractures, tangible reminders of Etna's ongoing geological story. The panorama dotted with lava formations provides a visual lesson in Etna's geological history, making it an unforgettable experience.
Cave of the Carcarazzi Craters
Venture into the Cave of the Carcarazzi Craters, a vertically developing cavity within the eruptive apparatus of the 1766 Calcarazzi mountains eruption. This volcanic cave, formed by explosive and effusive vents, presents a unique and somewhat perilous exploration due to its unstable walls of welded slag. Witness the remnants of magma consolidating within the eruptive fracture, a rare sight as most secondary craters remain occluded. This is an exceptional opportunity to explore a type of volcanic cave that opens only in a select few of Etna's numerous eruptive systems, offering a glimpse into the mountain's hidden geological depths.
Valle del Bove Caldera
Ascend to the Valle del Bove, an ancient caldera that unfolds before you like a vast geological amphitheater. Marvel at the layered walls of lava, pyroclasts, and ash, each stratum narrating Etna's tumultuous history over centuries. The formation of this dramatic landscape, a result of caldera collapse following rapid emptying of the magma chamber during an eruption, is a testament to the volcano's power. Explore the lava flows and pyroclastic deposits that have further sculpted the caldera over time. The Valle del Bove offers a breathtaking window into Etna's volcanological history, allowing you to witness the internal dynamics of one of the world's most active volcanoes.
