Thousands of tourists see Vesuvius to few who see Etna, yet there is bare ly a comparison between the two,
 Vesuvius has two peaks, the talleSt of them 4 200 feet above the ne:ghbor:ng sea. It's second- ary peak is 3,73O feet high. Et- na's active crater towers 1O,S75 feet above the Mediterranean. From its summit may be seen all of Sicily the neighboring Li- pari islands with the dread vol
