Etna erupted on May 12, spewing lava at the summit and shooting so much ash into the air that officials of the 102 year-old Giro d'Italia considered changing the cyclists' course. Today we hiked around a slightly lower crater, approx. 9,448'. Patches of the layer of new brown rock on top of the snowpack were very warm. All morning the volcano vented steam from many spots which in photos wrongly look like stray clouds.
