Answer : MOUNT ETNA
Mount Etna, Latin Aetna, Sicilian Mongibello, active volcano on the east coast of Sicily. The name comes from the Greek Aitne, from aithō, “I burn.” Mount Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe, its topmost elevation being about 10,900 feet. Like other active volcanoes, it varies in height, increasing from deposition during eruptions and decreasing from the periodic collapse of the crater’s rim. In 1865 the volcanic summit was about 170 feet higher than it was in the early 21st century. Etna covers an area of some 600 square miles, and its base has a circumference of about 93 miles.
Etna has been studied systematically since the middle of the 19th century. Three observatories have been set up on its slopes; they are located at Catania, Casa Etnea, and Cantoniera.
