Mt. Etna Day




We went to Mt. Etna. It was great. At the bottom there was a funicular (cable car) that took us close to the top. We had lunch and then explored around that area. We went up in basically a field of ash, and then got to more rock. Rogan lifted a rock up to feel how heavy it was, and it was very light, even though it was pretty big. Underneath the rock there were a lot of ladybugs.





We were so high up, it was super windy and pretty cold. Mt. Etna was very hilly and you could see the top of the mountain which was steaming, but no lava. I took a few pictures of plants, which were flowering succulents, there about three different kinds of succulents.
