Checking out the beach.
Getting ready to cross on the ferry.
Crossing.
Going to meet Mount Etna!
The smoking Etna is one of the most active volcanos in the world.
The black stones are called ash the lighter brown is ash too but older, You can tell the age of the ash by the color.
To honor God for stopping the Volcanic metal from covering their town, the towns people put up this monument and built the chapel as a remember.
The ash is thick and heavy and puts off a gas that kills all living thing. As it ages the gases are released and then life once again can begin.
This whole area is covered with the ash but life is returning
You can see where the more recent ash has fallen, the black on the mountain.
