Silvestri Crater

The Sylvestri Crater, on the south slopes of Mount Etna on Sicily, is the most accessible of the craters, so it’s often ringed by a phalanx of tourists strolling around its rim. Just to the right there’s a comfortable cafe. The crater, and the one next to it, was formed in 1892. The crater was named after the vulcanologist Orazio Silverstri.
