Der Krater des Ausbruchs von 2001 zeigt einen charakteristischen, abgebrochenen Rand, durch den sich die zahlreichen Lavaausströme deutlich erkennen lassen. Diese Eruption begann im Juli 2001 und dauerte etwa 24 Tage. Während dieser Zeit bildeten sich mehrere Spalten und Bruchstellen entlang des Südhangs des Ätna, aus denen die magmatischen Lavaflüsse austraten.

Vom Aussichtspunkt Belvedere di Calanna blicke ich ins weite Valle del Bove, eine riesige, hufeisenförmige Caldera am Osthang des Vulkans Ätna. Einst war das Tal bewaldet und intensiv landwirtschaftlich genutzt, wurde jedoch in den Ausbrüchen von 1991 bis 1993 komplett von Lava bedeckt und in eine fast mondähnliche Landschaft verwandelt.
