Destination: Europe Trivia Quiz

Answer: Mount Etna

Located on the island of Sicily, Mt. Etna is the tallest active volcano in Europe, although its height varies due to damage caused by eruptions. Tourists visiting Sicily may enjoy one of two ski resorts on Etna or ride the train that runs along the rim of the volcano.

Answer: Belarus and Poland

Bialowieza Forest is considered to be one of the last remaining primeval forests that covered the European Plain hundreds of years ago. In 1538, King Sigismund I issued a proclamation that made killing the bison, the heaviest land animal in Europe, an offense punishable by death. By 1541, the forest became a reserve to protect the bison.

After WWI there was concern that the bison no longer inhabited the forest; they were only 54 known to live in zoos. The re-population project has been very successful, and the reserve was added to the World Heritage List in the early 1990s. Visitors to the forest may visit laboratory facilities, a zoo, and a museum, as well as view other indigenous animals on the Belarus side; on Poland's side, guided tours (walking, biking, or riding in a carriage) through the park are offered.
