You arrive at the thinning light of an Etna evening: pumice underfoot, a cold wind pushing from the crater, and the island’s coastline glowing far below. The group slips from an air‑conditioned vehicle and walks at a measured pace to the rim of an ancient, stable crater, where the sunset paints the volcanic rock orange and the taste of local citrus hangs on the air.
