, tripod. Gole dell'Alcantara, Italy.

Le Gole dell'Alcantara sono figlie dell'attività che circa 300.000 anni fa ha caratterizzato la zona che abbraccia i comuni di Castiglione di Sicilia e Motta Camastra. Sono in sostanza uno splendido canyon di origine vulcanica, attraversato dal fiume Alcantara. A differenza da quanto sostenuto fino a non molto tempo fa, il canyon non si è formato grazie all'azione erosiva dell'acqua durata migliaia di anni. Recenti studi portano a ritenere che in realtà la sua origine è da attribuirsi ad eventi sismici che con un movimenti sussultorio-tettonici fecero letteralmente spaccare in due vecchi laghi basaltici preesistenti (originatisi appunto 300.000 anni fa dalla fuoriuscita di magma dalle fessurazioni dei basamenti pre-etnei), consentendo all'acqua del fiume di insinuarsi al suo interno.
