Europe's greatest volcano has burned above Sicily for all of recorded time. Rodwell tells the history of Mount Etna and its eruptions, mapping the mountain and recounting the fire it has poured over the land through the ages. Geology and history joined at the crater's edge. Climb toward the smoke of an ancient, restless peak.
