As you may know, Mount Etna recently erupted. Here are some pictures.

These eruptions were very unexpected and people were not prepared. The last major eruption of Mount Etna was in 1992. Etna is Europes most active volcano and is bordering the Italian city of Sicily. Sicily and Mount Etna are popular tourist destinations and many tourist travel there to hike up the mountain- my mum and her friend did.

There are many small villages near the volcano some being : Castemola , Savoca and Mascalucia

Even though these villages/towns are positioned next to/on a volcano, i think it would be amazing to live there and would happily stay there. I can only imagine how amazing the views are and how fascinating it would be to look down onto your town after hiking up. You just have to have a lot of trust in the safety measures and volcanologist who changes around the volcano. Would you live near a volcano?

And thats my Mount Etna post. If you have any questions ask and i’ll do some more research and include them in another volcano post.
