Neptunian feature regularly seen that spews lava (4)

I believe the answer is:

etna

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'neptunian feature' is the definition.
'etna' can be an answer for 'feature' (I have seen 'Feature of Sicily' mean 'etna' so perhaps 'feature' could also mean 'etna'). I am not sure about the 'neptunian' bit.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for etna that I've seen before include "Highest active volcano in Europe" , "Volcanic mount in Sicily" , "Highest peak in Italy south of the Alps" , "hole in the crust" , "Sicily's 15" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
