First day of our Geography / Environment field trip to Sicily! 💛♥️ Thanks to expert vulcanologist Boris Behncke for showing us around. Got to hear about Etna's distinct geological profile, and why volcanoes aren't just hazards but also lifegivers for local environments.

Etna's hardened lava rock is incredibly hard (check out Boris Behncke hammering away at it) and pretty inhospitable to life. But on Etna we can also find black volcanic sand that's very rich in minerals and a superb fertiliser 🌱

Human Geographers in Catania today! We're investigating the role of food (production + consumption) in creating a distinct 'Sicilian' identity, plus its importance for tourist experiences and economies 🍝

Ngl it was WET in Sicily today 🌧️🌧️ Fieldwork = being ready for all weather! Still managed to see hilltop Taormina's famous vistas, & to study how 'tourist gaze' & desire for the picturesque has changed the town 🏞️ Hot Sicilian coffee (+ hot chocolate) saw us through ☕
