Two Italian daredevils have become the first people to speed fly down Europe's biggest and most active volcano.

Speed flying is a combination of paragliding and skiing, and can involve speeds of up to 60mph.

Felice Boccanegra and Jody Barratin were joined by a team of guides and expert mountaineers on their way to the top of Sicily's Mt Etna.

The conditions on the volcanic mountain, which peaks at 3,329 metres above sea level, did not make life easy for them. It has already erupted four times since January.
