Etna is on the east coast of Sicily and is the largest and tallest active volcano in Europe (height 3,350 meters) and one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
Although its explosions can sometimes be very devastating, it is generally not considered particularly dangerous and thousands of residents live on the slopes of the volcano and the surrounding areas.
In June 2013, UNESCO announced Etna’s accession to the World Heritage List.
