Il Monte Etna si trova sulla costa orientale della Sicilia ed è il vulcano attivo più alto d’Europa, uno tra i più attivi del globo. Grazie ai 2700 anni di attività eruttiva, l’altezza massima del cono vulcanico oggi supera i 3300 metri di altitudine su circa 45 km di diametro di base. Tali dimensioni lo rendono il vulcano terrestre più imponente d’Europa e dell’intera area mediterranea.
L’Etna è anche uno dei vulcani più studiati e monitorati al mondo e riveste un’importanza scientifica e culturale globale, per la vulcanologia, la geofisica e altre discipline di scienze della terra.
Secondo il mito, l’attività di ceneri ed eruzioni laviche del vulcano sarebbero il ‘respiro’ infuocato del gigante Encelado, sconfitto da Atena e intrappolato per l’eternità in una prigione sotterranea sotto il Monte Etna, e i terremoti sarebbero causati dal suo rigirarsi tra le catene.
