The Lipari Islands are a volcanic arc. Stromboli is the most famous because of its constant activity, but the island of Vulcano (from which we get the word “volcano”) is also part of this group. These islands have been inhabited since ancient times and their volcanic activity has deeply influenced Mediterranean mythology and science. Because they are easily accessible by sea, they have been studied for centuries, helping to establish the foundations of modern volcanology. The islands are now a UNESCO World Heritage site due to their unique geological phenomena.
