What to expect

Sciara del Fuoco is a talus scree or depression located on Stromboli Island in Italy. It runs along the island's northern flank and is bounded by two ridges. The area was formed as a result of a sector collapse around 5,000 years ago and is sometimes referred to as a scar. It was formed by lava, lapilli, and incandescent waste. Sciara del Fuoco now serves as a major tourist attraction on the island, offering stunning views and a unique landscape
