Geology

Geologically, Strombolicchio is a volcanic plug or spine of extremely hard compacted basalt resistant to erosion, and is the remnant of the original volcano from which the island of Stromboli was built up. Eruptions at this site ceased approximately 200,000 years ago. Since then the volcanic activity has moved about 3 km (1.9 mi) to the southwest. It is the only remnant above sea level of an otherwise submarine platform that extends between it and the main island.

Flora and fauna

Strombolicchio hosts some very rare species of flora and fauna and has been declared a natural reserve, with severe restrictions on access. Bassia saxicola, for example, an endangered flower at risk of extinction, is otherwise present in only a few hundred specimens on the island of Capri. Podarcis raffonei, a rare lizard classified as at critical risk of extinction, is found at only three other locations, all of which are in the Aeolian Islands: a small islet off the coast of the nearby island of Salina, another islet off the coast of Filicudi, and in some areas of Vulcano.

Strombolicchio lighthouse

Strombolicchio Lighthouse, located on its summit, can be reached by a concrete stairway of over 200 steps.

[de] Strombolicchio

Der Strombolicchio (kleiner Stromboli) ist der Vulkaninsel Stromboli, einer der Liparischen Inseln vor der Nordküste Siziliens, als turmartige Klippe an der Nordostküste in etwa 1,5 Kilometer Entfernung vorgelagert. Die kleine Insel hat eine Länge von 131 Metern, eine maximale Breite von 52 Metern, und eine Grundrissfläche von rund 3500 m². Es handelt sich um den Rest einer alten vulkanischen Schlotfüllung. Vermutlich war der Strombolicchio-Vulkan ein Vorgänger des heutigen Stromboli-Vulkans oder ein alter Nebenvulkan, dessen Ausbruch vor 360.000 Jahren stattfand. Das Gestein des Strombolicchio gehört somit zu den ältesten des Stromboli.
