Mount Etna, Latin Aetna, Sicilian Mongibello, active volcano on the east coast of Sicily.
The name comes from the Greek Aitne, from aithō, “I burn.”
Mount Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe, its topmost elevation being about 10,900 feet (3,320 metres). Like other active volcanoes, it varies in height, increasing from deposition during eruptions and decreasing from the periodic collapse of the crater’s rim.
In 1865 the volcanic summit was about 170 feet (52 metres) higher than it was in the early 21st century. Etna covers an area of some 600 square miles (1,600 square km), and its base has a circumference of about 93 miles (150 km).

In the early 21st century a major eruption began in July 2001 and lasted several weeks.
Other significant early 21st-century volcanic activity included the Strombolian eruptions of 2002–03, 2007, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020.
(Strombolian eruptions involve moderate bursts of expanding gases that eject clots of incandescent lava in cyclical or nearly continuous small eruptions; see also volcano: Six types of eruptions.)
