  1. The elevation varies wi volcanic activity. The volcano last eruptit on 4 December 2015. It is frequently gien as 3,350 m (10,990 ft), but mony soorces that support this concede that it is approximate. The coordinates gien, which are conseestent wi SRTM data, are frae a 2005 GPS survey. The elevation data are based on a LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey carried oot in Juin 2007, see Neri, M.; et al. (2008), "The changing face of Mount Etna's summit area documented with Lidar technology", Geophysical Research Letters, 35: L09305, Bibcode:2008GeoRL..3509305N, doi:10.1029/2008GL033740
