Stromboli is a very small Italian volcanic island in the Tyrrhenian Sea just North of Sicily. It's a little more than 900m high volcano itself and has a very small size of 12.6 kilometers. 2 kilometers North East of Stromboli is the small, uninhabited island Strombolicchio.

The Stromboli does not erupt huge explosions anymore but the volcano flows lava occasionally.
