Mount Etna
The Mount Etna cable car takes visitors from the South coach park and visitor centre (alt 6505') up to the upper station (alt 8215'). From here there was once a further cable car system but that was destroyed in the 2002 eruption and has been replaced with a fleet of vehicles best described as army lorries with bus bodies. These climb a dirt and ash track up to the 2002 craters at the limits of general access (alt 9580'). Awesome is an overused word but fittingly describes the Etna landscapes. This view of one of the AWD vehicles by the upper cable car station on 1st June 2018.
