stromboli | sicily

Stromboli, one of the 5 islands of the Aeolian archipelago, located just off the Sicilian coast of Southern Italy, containing one of the three active volcanoes in Italy. A significant geological feature of the volcano is the Sciara del Fuoco (“stream of fire”), a big horseshoe-shaped depression generated in the last 13,000 years by several collapses on the northwestern side of the cone. Two kilometers to the northeast lies Strombolicchio, the volcanic plug remnant of the original volcano.
