Mount Stromboli, Active volcano on Stromboli island, Italy
Mount Stromboli rises 926 meters from the Tyrrhenian Sea, forming a perfect cone shape with continuous volcanic activity visible from its summit craters.
The volcano has maintained constant eruption patterns for over 2,000 years, leading Mediterranean sailors to name it the Lighthouse of the Mediterranean.
The 500 inhabitants of Stromboli maintain fishing traditions while adapting their daily routines to the rhythms of the volcanic activities.
Guided hiking tours to observe volcanic activity start in the late afternoon and require sturdy boots, warm clothes, and advance reservations.
The Sciara del Fuoco, a horseshoe-shaped depression on the northwest flank, channels lava flows and volcanic materials directly into the sea.
