Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, with a coast line of over 1,000 kilometers and a population of over five million. Most of the island is mountainous or hilly. The highest peak is Etna, Europe's biggest active volcano, which smokes near Catania on the east side of the island. In the seas around Sicily, the Aeolian or Lipari archipelago and Ustica lie to the north, the Egadi island to the west, Pantelleria and the Pelagies to the south.
