    T-Rex spotting on Etna!
    During the climb from Zafferana Etnea on the south side of Etna, you'll suddenly encounter a magnificent miniature T-Rex—a surprising and playful work of art along the way.
    From this vantage point, you'll also have a magnificent view of Etna and the sea.
    An unexpected encounter in the heart of Sicily's volcanic landscape! 🌋🦖
