Mount Stromboli

Mount Stromboli is an active volcano on a small island off the north

coast of Sicily – one of three active volcanoes in Italy. The volcano

itself rises 924 meters above sea level, but it actually rises 2,000

metres from the floor of the ocean. It is one of the most active

volcanoes in the world, erupting almost continuously for the last

2,000 years. The eruptions of Stromboli are seen best at night. The

largest recent eruption on Mount Stromboli happened in 1930, and

resulted in the deaths of several people and the destruction of

several homes.
