Forms the northeastern-most of the Aeolian islands
924 meters above sea level
Part of the Calabrian volcanic arc
Associated with the subduction of the African tectonic plate under the Eurasian plate
Basaltic and Andesitic lavas
1907 indicate that one explosion was strong enough to shatter windows in the island's villages
1930 were associated with an earthquake that also created a small tsunami
Most recent eruption began in 1932 & has continued essentially uninterrupted since then
Strombolian eruptions are mild explosive events where "slugs" of gas periodically rise through a magma-filled volcanic conduit, burst at the surface, and throw bits of lava into the air (lava bombs)
