🎧  Listen to Introduction

The Aeolian Islands provide an excellent record of the formation and destruction of volcanic islands and of ongoing volcanic phenomena. The islands have been studied since at least the 18th century and they provide examples of two types of eruptions (Vulcanic and Stromboli) for volcanology, so the site has played an important role in the education of geologists for more than 200 years. The site continues to enrich knowledge in the field of volcanology.
