Abstract:
Stromboli is the most northern island of the aeolic islands in Italy. It consists only of the 924 m high volcano Stromboli. The island is about 40000 years old. The special on this volcano is, that it's in a constant activity. Several times an hours the volcano catapults parts of glowing lava in the air. Stromboli is the most active volcano in Europe. It's erupting for several thousand years. Because there are a lot of little eruptions there will be no big pressure inside the volcano to create a great eruption. The last great eruption was in 1930. During the day covered with smoke, during the night luminous, the first seafarer called the island "lighthouse of the Tyrrhenian Sea". From the sea, the island looks like a cone, that's why the Greeks called it "Strongyle", the round. The present name "Stromboli" goes back on the Greek spelling.
