It's said that the manufactures of Hephaestus lie underneath Mt. Etna. I can't vouch for this. I can vouch, in any case, that the spring of gushing lava itself is excellent, similar to the view when you're on it.
Mt. Etna is one of the biggest volcanoes in Europe, and a standout amongst the most dynamic on the planet. It commands the scene of north-eastern Sicily. Numerous organizations offer visits, not exactly to the pinnacle, but rather to different astounding destinations at the edge and up to a few of the principle cauldrons.
This is what that resembles.
