I have been to many countries in Europe, many cities, and Sicily is one of my favorite hot destinations. Sicily, located in southern Italy and central Mediterranean, is the largest island in the Mediterranean, with a population of 5 millon and the largest population density. With beautiful and rich Sicily, it is a famous tourist resort in Europe with charming island scenery and long and profound history and humanities.
Sicily is mostly mountainous and hilly, the only wide valley is the eastern coast of Catania Plain, where the land is fertile, rich in products. From the map, Sicily is like an Italian football extending Chengdu to Surat Thani flight to the tip of a Mediterranean boot. And this football is not simple, it contains infinite energy. Because Sicily is in the Mediterranean volcanic belt, at the junction of the Asia-Europe plate and the African plate, earthquakes and volcanic activity are quite frequent.
Located on the east coast of Sicily, Mount (Mount Etna), the highest on the island, is nearly 3350 meters above sea level, making it the largest and most active volcano in Europe. The name of Mount ettner comes from the Greek word Atine, which means “I burned.” Like other active volcanoes, its height is rising because frequent eruptions cause a large amount of volcanic ash to accumulate, causing its height to rise.
Etna is considered one of the most active volcano on the planet and, like the Mafia, is a“dangerous” on Sicily. Even so, Etna has become the most popular tourist destination in the region, attracting countless“Warriors” to climb on foot every day to conquer the“hot-tempered” mountain range.
However, do not worry that hiking Mount etna is a relatively safe tourism Chengdu to Phuket flight experience, because the local government has set up a number of monitoring stations to monitor the state of the volcano, monitoring volcanic activity at all times, if there are signs of eruption, will issue early warning notice and close mountaineering tourism projects. There are several ways to climb Mount ettner. After halfway up the hill, you can climb on foot, ride a bike and ride a car in a scenic spot. I chose to climb on foot because I wanted to take pictures.
With respect to hiking and riding, I admire the warriors of the biking, for riding on a mountain of more than 30 degrees, not only is the loose volcanic sand road but also the dust that is rolled up from time to time after a vehicle. Every time they see them pass through, I look tired.
Riders climbing Mount ETA is not only to conquer Europe’s largest volcano, but also to challenge their willpower. So, every time they go to a high marking point, they stop to take pictures. When you visit Mount Eltner, you hear dull sounds from time to time, the sound of gas. The heat of the volcano passes through the surface to the feet of visitors, making people seem to be stepping on a huge hot pot. Therefore, hiking Mount Atna is definitely a thrilling travel experience.
Mount etna is about 160km in circumference, with a main vent more than 3300 meters above sea level and more than 500m in diameter, surrounded by more than 200 small volcanic cones. Mount etna, which coincides with several groups of faults, is a highly active volcano on Earth. It has been recorded that it has the longest eruption history, the earliest eruption can be traced back to 1500 years ago, so far there have been more than 500 eruptions, known as the world’s most eruptive volcanoes.
The most violent eruption of Etna’s volcano was 1669, which lasted for a long time and lasted for a long period of four months, and the billowing lava almost inundated the city of Carmel, where the whole city was buried, and the life of 20,000 people was claimed. In recent years, more than 20 eruptions have also occurred since 2007, with a total of nearly 1 million casualties.
It is interesting that locals live adjacent to this grumpy guy and summarize a lot of experience in predicting volcanic eruptions. In addition to scientific monitoring and warning, locals say that if one day you see electronic clocks and computers suddenly getting faster, be alert to volcanic eruptions. This statement, however, can not be explained by experts. However, the anomalies caused by volcanic eruptions do often occur, in addition to the rapid electronic time, the surrounding electronic devices also have sudden automatic ignition and other inexplicable phenomena. Can you explain these phenomena? Welcome to share the message.
