Una esperienza incredibile, ci siamo trovati in un ambiente straordinario, ci aspettavamo da un momento all'altro di vedere i rover di Marte. Ed effettivamente I robot sono stati testati proprio sull'Etna. Emozionante. Unico. I criteri sommitali sono chiusi dal 2021, il vulcano è in attività. Ma anche stare a un km dalla vetta, passeggiando tra i crateri ti rendi conto di come sia immenso questo vulcano. Da lontano pensi al cono sommitale, in realtà il sistema vulcanico è l'intera montagna. La vista sulla valle del Bove, dove normalmente scarica le colate laviche, è stranissima, sembra dibaffacciarti su un mare nero. Abbiamo poi visitato una grotta di scorrimento lavico, sei all'interno del vulcano! La nostra guida Claudio è stata eccezionale, ci ha accompagnato per tutta la giornata raccontandoci ogni aspetto del vulcano, la geologia la storia, la natura e tante curiosità. Competente e piacevole è riuscito a trasmettere il suo amore per la sua terra, la sua passione per lo studio, l'insegnamento e il suo lavoro. Grazie infinite! Hai reso questa giornata ancora più ricca e indimenticabile.
Ha avuto anche la capacità di tenere unito e accontentare un gruppo estremamente eterogeneo, e non è da tutti! Davvero complimenti! Ha trasmesso una grande fiducia anche a chi non è abituato a camminare in montagna.
Che altro dire... fate questa esperienza! Provare per credere!
