Stromboli

 

This is Stromboli. It is an active volcano off the north coast of Sicily, Italy. Stromboli has had nearly constant eruptions for around 2,000 to 5,000 years. The last major one took place in 1921. However, explosive events still happen, with two occurring in 2019. Also, fun fact, the conclusion of Jules Verne’s book “Journey to the Center of Earth” was set on Stromboli, and it may have been the inspiration for Mount Doom in J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” series according to English Professor Clyde Samuel Kilby.
