The name of the location i am visiting is mount Mount Etna located in Sicily,Italy in Europe. There is not offical capital of Europe. Russia is te only continent that border's Europe. Te bodies of water that border Europe are the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the North Sea, and the Baltic Sea. Europes Gps cordinates are 37°45′18.24″N 14°59′42.9″E. 5. The climate is warm during summer when temperatures tend to be in the 70's and very cold during winter when temperatures tend to be in the 20's. ,mount etna looks like black sand. mount etna is the largest active volcano in Europe, it's now standing 10,922 ft high, though this varies with summit eruptions; the mountain is 69 ft lower now than it was in 1981. Mount Etna dominates the Sicilian skyline, a vague threat situated near the island"s eastern coast. This is the most active volcano in the world. I'm not sure how many miles mount etna and Etra Ale have between them. I got here by a boat. It cost me $2649 to get here.and i didn't have any trouble on my way up here. I think the biggest difference from Etra Ale is that Moun Etna is that one is taller than the other.

There are no countries that border Africa. bodies of water that border Africa are the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, & Mediterranean Sea. the GPS coordinates of Africa are 29o00' S and 24o00' E. Most of Africa has a warm/hot climate. The geography of "The Dark Continent" is as varied as the people who inhabit it. the history of etra ale is Erta Ale is one of the few volcanoes on the world that have an almost persistent lava lake. It is an isolated basaltic shield volcano, 50 km wide, rising more than 600 m from below sea level in the barren Danakil depression. etra ale is important because It is an isolated basaltic shield volcano, 50 km wide, rising more than 600 m from below sea level. I don't no how many miles there is between Mount Mauna Loa and Etra Ale. I got here to Etra Ale by a plane. And i didn't have any layovers which is a good thing.

I am visiting mount Mauna Loa , located in Hawaii. The capital of Hawaii is Honolulu. no states border Hawaii. Hawaii is located in the central Pacific Ocean.The GPS coordinates of Hawaii are (Latitude: 21° 18' 25 N, Longitude: 157° 51' 30 W).The climate in Hawaii is warm and gentle trade winds, mild temperatures and sunny skies. Mauna Loa is Hawaiian for "Long Mountain", because of its long, gently sloping shape. More than 4 km above sea level, Mauna Loa is the largest volcano on the planet. Its long submarine flanks descend to the sea floor an additional 5 km, and the sea floor in turn is depressed by Mauna Loa's great mass another 8 km. The huge volcano covers half of the Island of Hawaii and by itself amounts to about 85 percent of all the other Hawaiian Islands combined Mauna Loa is Earth's most active volcano. mount Mauna Loa
is important because it's earth's largest volcano. The distance from Hawaii to Washington is about 2701 miles. I got to mount Mauna Loa by a boat. It cost me 3,499 dollar's to get there. I had a trouble free trip. The difference from my last location is that mount mauna loa is way bigger.

Mount Baker formed during and since the last ice age. Lava flows from the summit vent erupted between 30,000 and 10,000 years ago. An eruption about 6,600 years ago produced a blanket of ash that extended more than 20 miles northeast. Mount Baker is important because it is an ice-clad volcano in the North Cascades of Washington State about 31 miles due east of the city of Bellingham. After mount Rainier, it is the most heavily glaciated of the Cascade Volcano's: the volume of snow and ice on Mount Baker (about 1.8 cubic kilometers; 0.43 cubic miles) is greater than that of all the other Cascades volcanoes (except Rainier) combined.mount baker and mount hood are The distance between Mount Hood, OR and Mount Baker, WA is 145.0 miles(234.0 km).
