Welcome to Mount Etna
The second stop on our ships excursion was to Mount Etna. We had lunch at a restaurant part way up the mountain and then went way up to the lookout complex. The weather changed multiple times while we were there from driving rain and strong winds to sunshine. Not many pictures , but the video shows it pretty well.
