Mt. Etna
This day's excursion was one of the high points for me. Mt. Etna is an active volcano. We, of course, didn't visit any fuming caldera but we did go to a couple of side vent which are young enough to have no vegetation growing anywhere around - just red lava rocks. But it was cold and windy, very wintery.

House along the road on Mt. Etna. Looking over the edge of the vent's rim toward the road. It was quite a drop.

All of us tourists walking up to the vent in the cold and wind!
More barren landscape at the vent.
