The Italian island of perpetual fire

BEST OF 2019 - Stromboli is the most remote of Italy’s seven Aeolian Islands. This summer, two major explosions shook the island, killing an Italian hiker and causing 70 people to be evacuated.

except for the volcano. Now don't get me wrong, I live on top of a big assed super volcano already, just can't see it because it's so huge. I suppose it would put things in perspective on a regular basis, though.
