Vulcano, Active volcano in the Lipari archipelago, Italy
The volcanic structure reaches 386 meters above sea level and contains multiple craters with continuous emission of sulfuric gases through fumaroles.
The last major eruption occurred between 1888 and 1890, leading Scottish industrialist James Stevenson to abandon his agricultural and mining operations on the island.
The island's name gave origin to the word 'volcano' in numerous languages, deriving from the Roman fire god Vulcan who was believed to forge weapons here.
Regular ferry services connect the island with other Aeolian destinations and mainland Sicily, with departures increasing during summer tourism season.
In November 2021, authorities evacuated 150 residents from the harbor area due to increased volcanic activity and dangerous gas concentrations.
