Doug's Geology Journal
Two Tasty Plates
Season 1
Episode 104
Sicily is a rugged island forged from the collision of two tectonic plates, with Europe’s most active volcano puncturing those plates. Doug ascends the erupting snow-capped Mount Etna and roams Sicily's rocky coast and the hill towns and mountains of the interior. Durable limestone, originating at the bottom of the sea, has been a mainstay of Sicilian art and architecture for millenia.
