Sicilian Landscape
Sicilia, the largest island in the Mediterranean, is separated from Italy's "toe" by the Stretto di Messina. Made up almost entirely of mountains, Sicily lies at the convergence of three major tectonic plates. It is thus subject to the dangers of earthquakes and volcanoes, including those of Etna, Europe's highest volcano.
