A fascination for volcanos is the life breath of Peter Diethelm who has visited volcanos worldwide, but especially feels attracted by Mount Etna in Sicily. We interviewed the Swiss volcano expert who works closely with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich as well as TV stations all over Europe. He shows us his collection of volcanic stones and passionately tells his life and death stories from the past years. We had the chance to view all his video material and chose some glowing items to illustrate his memories.
