The island of Stromboli, only 12.6 sq km in size, is something of a natural wonder. Its resident volcano is one of the only constantly active volcanoes in the world, and explodes dozens of times every day. When it does, it sends ash and lava fragments in to the air, and occasional rivers of lava into the sea. Pretty dramatic stuff, but not life-threatening - well, not that often anyway.
Over the last century, there have been only three or four major explosions that have claimed lives and destroyed homes on the island. The last big one occured in 2003, and, as a result, the island was closed off to tourists for two years afterwards. Another burst happened in April of 2009.
