Day 2: Etna II

    Bucca Nuova
The view into this crater was very impressive. Huge, colorful and smelly. :) Next image: Sulfur deposits on the ground. In the background You can see the highest point of Etna, the North-East-Crater (I think, check Google if You want to be sure).

    Whirlwind
Du you see the whirlwind? Another one in the next image. They formed quite often, must have to do something with the gas beeing so warm. By the way: We almost suffocated when walking through the fumaroles, really yucky!

    Lava Cave
Another lava cave. Very "geomoetric", rounded and "clean", like the neck of a brontosaurus from the inside. As in New Zealand, taking photos is difficult because of the dark lava that is reflecting very little light.
