Sicily: The Ophiolite Mystery

Through an immersive educational journey across Sicily, students investigate the geological forces that shaped one of Europe’s most dynamic volcanic landscapes. From the slopes of Mount Etna to rare ophiolite formations and dramatic river gorges, students examine plate tectonics, volcanic activity, and biodiversity while applying hands-on field geology techniques to uncover the evidence of an ancient ocean hidden within Sicily’s mountains.

Subject(s): Geology, Biology, Environmental Systems, Geography

Level(s): High School (Grades 9-12)

Overview

Conduct a scientific inquiry atop Mt. Etna to find a “stone that shouldn’t be there”. Students use the rare ophiolite rock — oceanic crust found at mountain peaks — to investigate Sicily’s tectonic history.

  • Investigate ophiolite rock formations and what they reveal about tectonic history
  • Study Mount Etna’s volcanic activity and geological processes
  • Examine biodiversity adapted to volcanic and mineral-rich environments
  • Practice field geology methods through hands-on rock and site analysis

Travel With Purpose - The Edulux Compass

We don’t just teach something about the place, we strive to add something to it. Powered by the United Nations’ 17  Sustainable Development Goals – every Edulux journey serves at least one. 

By participating in a native-tree replanting session on Etna's lower slopes to combat erosion after past eruptions; this journey contributes to SDG 15.

What's Included?

  • Mount Etna – Europe's highest active volcano, offering firsthand insight into volcanic processes and tectonic activity.
  • Ophiolite Rock Outcrops – Rare exposures of ancient oceanic crust revealing the tectonic history beneath Sicily.x
  • Alcantara Gorges – Spectacular basalt canyons formed by ancient lava flows and river erosion, illustrating volcanic geology in action.
  • Nebrodi Park – Protected natural landscape showcasing Sicily's diverse ecosystems and biodiversity across volcanic terrain.
  • Catania Coastline – Coastal environment shaped by repeated volcanic eruptions, demonstrating the interaction between lava, land, and the Mediterranean Sea.
