Stromboli is a stratovolcano that is also known as the "Lighthouse of the Mediterranean". It's among the world's most visited volcanoes.
Stromboli, a small island north of Sicily (Italy), is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and famous for its normally small, but regular explosions. This activity has been going on for at least 2000 years, as long as there is written memory of the activity. It forms the northeastern-most of the Aeolian islands. Stromboli's base begins over 1000 meters below the surface of the Tyrrhenian Sea and it rises to an elevation of 924 meters above sea level. Over time it has acquired the nickname the "Lighthouse of the Mediterranean" because it has been active for much of the last 2,000 years and its eruptions are visible for long distances at night.
