can anyone tell me anything about mount etna plz?

Mount Etna (also known as Mongibeddu in Sicilian and Mongibello in Italian) is an active volcano on the east coast of Sicily, close to Messina and Catania. It is the largest active volcano in Europe, currently standing about 3,350 m (10,991 ft) [1] high, though it should be noted that this varies with summit eruptions; the mountain is 21.6 m (71 ft) lower now than it was in 1865. It is the highest mountain in Italy south of the Alps. Etna covers an area of 1190 km² (460 square miles) with a basal circumference of 140 km. This makes it by far the largest of the three active volcanoes in Italy, being nearly three times the height of the next largest, Mount Vesuvius.\n\nIt is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and is in an almost constant state of eruption. Although it can occasionally be very destructive, it is not generally regarded as being particularly dangerous,[citation needed] and thousands of people live on its slopes and in the surrounding areas. The fertile volcanic soils support extensive agriculture, with vineyards and orchards spread across the lower slopes of the mountain and the broad Plain of Catania to the south. Due to its history of recent activity and nearby population, Mount Etna has been designated a Decade Volcano by the United Nations.

Where there any geological hints previous?\nHow was the emergency action plan enacted?\nWhat was the survival rate in the ash zone?

Morne Diablotins - Dominica\nThe mountain is volcanic, and erupted 30,000-40,000 years ago. There are no known historical eruptions.\n\nKick-'em-Jenny - Grenada\nAn active submarine volcano on the Caribbean sea floor 8 km north of the island of Grenada.  The volcano has erupted on at least twelve occasions since 1939 and 2001 (the last being on December 4, 2001)\n\nLa Grande Soufrière - Guadeloupe\nor simply La Soufrière (French: "sulphur outlet"), is an active stratovolcano located on the French island of Basse-Terre, in Guadeloupe.  Last eruption in 1977\n\nMartinique, Montserrat, Netherlands Antilles, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines also have some, just follow the link, click on the country name in the right hand box and that will take you to the names of volcanoes in each of those countries (some have links with even more info about the volcano)\n\nhope this helps

Mount Merapi did erupted and will be erupt in the next few weeks.\nMostly Merapi (means: Fire Mountain) misunderstood that it will explode and blasting volcanic materials to the atmosphere like a bomb.\nSo far only one "big bomb" explotion of Merapi recognise in the history time, during midlle ages that destroyed Hindus Kindom in Central Java. Even today we can find many of the Hindus and Budhis Temples around the area discovered burried in the ass / volcanic material from that explotion, from few inches up to several feet deep.\nNOwadays, Merapi eruption "only" resulting less then 1 mil plume. It happen because its craters are "open" and the magma/lava can easily flows out of the montain. The good things from Merapi beeing one of THe MOst Active Volcano in the world is that it is "very alife" and nothing really blocking the lava flow.\nThe most deadliest things from Merapi nowadays is the "Nue Ardante" or Piroclastic Flow, fllowing the eruption and Crater falls. Some volcalogist said that if you are accidently cought in the middle of this Piroclastic Flow, it is like you are hited by a hurrican and a hot furnice in the same time!\nIt is very hot! (300 - 600 degree Celcius) and its travel at the min. speed of 120 km per hours!\neven if you drive a car, you can not escape!\nIts only need 3 minutes (sometimes less) to travel from the crater in the top of the mountain to the leg/bottom!\nIts burn eveything! Even seeds 2 feet deep in the ground found death in the eruption in 1994.\nFor more information about Volcanos in Indonesia and how violent its explosion, you may find in some web pages below!\nNote: Indonesia Archipelago has the most Volcanoes in the worlds and also the deadliest

Here's what I found... \n\n\n\nPhysical Features:\n\nThe main mountain system of the Scandinavian peninsula hardly deserves its name of Kjdlen' (the keel). It may rather be described as a plateau deprived of the appearance of a plateau, being on the one hand grooved by deep valleys, while on the other many salient peaks tower above its average level. Such peaks, during the later Glacial period, stood above the ice-field. Peaks and ridges were formed by the action of small glaciers cutting out each its circular hollow (botn) just as they still work on the remaining snow-fields. But where the power of the main ice-mass was at work, the characteristic rounded forms of base rock are seen, close above the sea along the coast, but even as high as 5000 ft. in some inland localities. The high plateau lies along the W. side of the peninsula, so that except in the S.E. Norway is mountainous throughout. Even the part excepted is hilly, but it partakes of the character of the long eastern or Swedish slope of the peninsula. Beyond the coast line their floors sink far below sea-level, and thus are formed the fjords and the belt of rugged islands which characterize almost the entire seaboard of Norway. Where Norway marches with Russia, a few heights exceed 3000,or even 4000 ft., but the land is not generally of great elevation. But from the point of junction with Swedish territory the mountains increase considerably in height. For a short distance, as far south as Lake Tome, the loftiest points lie within Norwegian territory, such as Jaggevarre (6283 ft.), between Lyngen and Ulfs fjords, and Kiste Fjeld (5653 ft.) farther inland. Thereafter the principal heights lie approximately along the crest-line of the plateau and within Swedish territory. Sulitelma, however (6158 ft.), lies on the frontier. Southward again the higher summits fall to Norway. S. of Boa, Svartisen (" the black ice "), a magnificent snow-field bordering the coast, and feeding many glaciers, culminates at 5246 ft. Thereafter, Okstinderne or Oxtinderne (6273 ft.), and the Store Borge Fjeld (5587 ft.) are the principal elevations as far as 64° N. A little S. of this latitude the so-called Trondhjem depression is well marked right across the central upland, the height of the mountains not often exceeding 4000 ft., while the peaked form characteristic of the heights which rose clear of the glaciers of the later Glacial period is wanting. It is from this point too that Norwegian territory broadens 1 In Norwegian the definite article (when there is no epithet) is added as a suffix to the substantive (masc. and fern. en, neuter et). Geographical terms are similarly suffixed to names, thus Suldalsvandet, the lake Suldal. The commonest geographical terms are: elm, river; vand, lake; fjeld, mountain or highland; o, island; dal, valley; noes, cape; fos, waterfall; brce, glacier; vik, vig, bay; eide, isthmus; fjord. Aa is pronounced aw. \n\nso as to include not only the highest land in the peninsula, but a considerable part of the general E. and S.E. slope. The high plateau broadens and follows the S.W. sweep of the coast. Pursuing it S. the Dovre Fjeld is marked off by the valleys of the rivers Driva and Sundal, Laagen (or Laugen) and Rauma, and the fjords of the coastland of Nordmdre. Here Sneha tta reaches a height of 7615 ft., and the Romsdal (the name under which the Rauma valley is famous among tourists) is flanked by many abrupt jagged peaks up to 6000 ft. high. The valley of the Laagen forms the upper part of Gudbrandsdal. East of this and S.E. of the Dovre is another fjeld, Rondane, in which Hdgronden rises to 6929 ft. South of the Otta valley is Jotunheim or Jdtun Fjeld, a sparsely peopled, in parts almost inaccessible, district, containing the highest mountains in Scandinavia, Galdhiipiggen reaching 8399 ft. On the seaward side of Jotunheim is Jostedalsbra, a great snow-field in which Lodalskaupen reaches a height of 6795 ft. South of Sogne Fjord (61° N.)

No, Mont Blanc is not the highest peak in Europe. Mt. Elbrus in Russia is. Mont Blanc is the highest peak in the Alps, but it's not even among Europe's top 5.\n\nThere isn't a trail to the summit, but it isn't a super technical climb either. You do need some basic mountaineering experience and competency with an ice axe, crampons, and rope.  There are some long glacier climbs and short rock climbs. If you have no mountaineering experience, some companies will offer week long instructional courses ending in a climb of the mountain (if you have enough money!). It certainly isn't Everest. From a technical standpoint, it is probably a little easier than the Grand Teton in Wyoming. The biggest hurdles on Mont Blanc are the altitude (spending extra time acclimatizing is a MUST) and the weather.
