From Wikipedia . Sicily (Italian: Sicilia [siˈtʃiːlja]) is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea; Sicily is located in the central Mediterranean Its most prominent landmark isMount Etna, which, at 3,350 m (10,990 ft), is the tallest active volcano in Europe and one of the most active in the world. The island has a typicalMediterranean climate. Sicily has a rich and unique culture, especially with regard to the arts,music, literature, cuisine and architecture. It also holds importance forarcheological and ancient sites such as the Necropolis of Pantalica, theValley of the Temples and Selinunte. The terrain of inland Sicily is mostly hilly and intensively cultivated wherever it was possible. Along the northern coast, mountain ranges of Madonie, 2,000 m (6,600 ft), Nebrodi, 1,800 m (5,900 ft), and Peloritani, 1,300 m (4,300 ft), represent an extension of mainland Apennines. The cone of Mount Etna dominates over the eastern coast. In the south-east lie lowerHyblaean Mountains, 1,000 m (3,300 ft).[8] The mines of the Enna and Caltanissetta districts were a leading sulfur-producing area throughout the 19th century, but have declined since the 1950s. Sicily and its small surrounding islands have some highly active volcanoes. Mount Etna is the largest active volcano in Europe and still plagues the island with black ash with its ever current eruptions. It currently stands 3,329 metres (10,922 ft) high, though this varies with summit eruptions; the mountain is 21 m (69 ft) lower now than it was in 1981. It is the highest mountain in Italy south of the Alps. Etna covers an area of 1,190 km2 (459 sq mi) with a basal circumference of 140 km (87 mi). This makes it by far the largest of the three active volcanoes in Italy, being about two and a half times the height of the next largest,Mount Vesuvius.
