Here is Joe, standing on one of Etna's slopes. We are mostly above the clouds at this point, which accounts for the lack of any scenery behind him.

Another view at the summit crater. The footing is a combination of loose rocks, pumice and the ice/snow underneath - watch your step and don't get too close to the edge!

Here we are at the actual summit crater of Mt. Etna. What you see is a combination of smoke and steam from the crater, and the smell of sulfer in the air is almost nauseating.
