Visiting Stromboli
Stromboli had erupted a few weeks prior to our visit and was not considered safe at the top. Our walk was therefore limited to around halfway up. It was emitting periodic outbursts of thick smoke rather than its usual outbursts of lava bombs.

The streets are narrow and the only vehicles on the island resemble golf buggies |
This church occupies a dramatic position in the town |

Long after another smoke outburst |
This panorama of the town was from as high as we were allowed, given the prevailing circumstances |
This is the pier at which our hydrofoil arrived and departed |
