Alcantara Valley: history and geology in 6 minutes | Vallealcantara.com

How was the Alcantara Valley formed?
A lava flow from Mount Etna, an ancient river, centuries of villages: the story in 6 minutes.
This video covers the geological evolution of the valley — from the Mount Mojo lava flow that created the famous columnar basalt Gorges, to thousands of years of erosion by the Alcantara river — and its human history: Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans, and the villages of today (Castiglione, Francavilla, Randazzo, Motta Camastra).
