Mt Etna On Map. Simplified geological and tectonic map of Mount Etna. The boundaries of Fast forward many (seriously, too many years), and whilst I had camped atop volcanoes in Guatemala, boarded down one in Nicaragua, and hiked several in Ecuador, Etna was still a pencil-drawing in a 12 year old girl's workbook; a quasi-mystic location that didn't really feel like it should. The new cone formed by the activity is likely the new summit of Mount Etna

The map in Italian or English can be downloaded for free in .pdf format on this page. Mount Etna is associated with the subduction of the African plate under the Eurasian plate, which also produced Vesuvius and Campi Flegrei, but is part of a different volcanic arc (the Calabrian rather than Campanian)

1. Mount Etna is located in Sicily, Italy, roughly circled in red. That's where I first heard about Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano During the first 1500 years AD, many eruptions went unrecorded (or records have been lost); among the more significant are: (1) an eruption in about 1030 AD near Monte Ilice on the lower southeast flank, which produced a lava flow that travelled about 10 km, reaching the sea north of Acireale; the villages of Santa Tecla and Stazzo are built on the broad delta built by this lava.
