The volcano is Europe’s most active, and the continent’s largest. Etna attracts hikers and backpackers to its slopes while less adventurous tourists can take it in from a distance, most stunningly from the Ionian Sea. ...

Etna has been active recently, and this was the 14th episode since mid-March.  ...

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
