Stromboli, Italy, is one of the seven volcanic islands in the Aeolian archipelago. The island near Sicily’s northern coast is one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Regardless of the danger posed by its volcanic activity, tourists actually visit the island. However, the recent summer eruptions have decreased the volcano tours for safety. National Geographic travels to Stromboli, “the lighthouse of the Meditterrenean” to look further into the island, far from the mountaintop views and beyond the volcanic attractions to examine other aspects of Stromboli.
