And people living nearby simply go about their business as they have for centuries.

My husband and I visited Sicily and Mount Etna in March 1997 (that seems SO long ago now!). There were people skiing there. But what really struck me was seeing a team of huskies, training at pulling a sled there.

The ground was hot.

Skiers and huskies pulling sleds were a bit surreal!
