Located 2 hrs by sea north of Sicily, Stromboli rises 2,900 ft above the water. It's been active more or less continually for 2,000 years. I snapped these photos as our ship cruised by on 19 July 2006.

neat shot Bob.

I suppose those are houses of some mighty brave and slightly dumb folks on the lower right?

Boy the lighting of the back of the boat was nice. Water really blue.
