"I had heard about the stupendous iridescence of the aurora upon the Ionian Sea, when you contemplate it from Etna's summit...The earthly and marine vastness revealed to our sight stretched as far as Africa, clearly visible, and Greece, as far as you could have guessed. It was one of the supreme moments of my life. Nothing was missing, not the golden fringe of a cloud, nor the eagles..."
Adapted from "Adriano's Memories", Marguerite Yourcenar.
Etna's caves
On Mount Etna there are many caves, often created from magma flowing.
The most famous is called "Grotta del gelo" (Ice Cave); it is the southest "glacer" in Europe. Here you can find ice in every season.
We'll describe only caves that are easily reachable from non-professional explorers; for all the others we'll spend just a few words.
Enjoy your esploration!!
