The Highest Craters

Torre del Filosofo, Southern Etna, base of the mountain craters
Torre del Filosofo, Southern Etna, base of the mountain craters

The summit of the volcano is currently made of the Central Crater (Voragine and Bocca Nuova), the northern-eastern Crater (1911), and the southern-eastern Crater (1971). The height of the volcano is of about 3,340 meters above sea-level, but this varies because of the accumulation of the material deriving from the explosions on the one side, and on the other because of the frequent collapse of the walls.
