Not too many miles away from Mount Etna on Sicily are the Aeolian islands, one of the islands is Vulcano (from which the word Volcano is derived). It is possible to walk up to the crater to get a great view inside and of the rest of the island. There is a path around the whole crater, which has not erupted since around 1900. In some places the sulphur smell and gas means breath holding is a good idea. There are hot mud baths at the sea's edge and in places the water in the sea gets very hot.The island is reached by hydrofoil from the nearby island of Lipari, a great satellite view is available showing how close these islands are.

Nice shots & story. When were you there? I suppose these were analog photos..
This was 2000, just out of shot someone had written "2000" in the crater, hope they had a gas mask. The photos are scanned from Agfa slide film.
This photos are amazing. I'm feeling very jealous. I want to go see a volcano too! Beautiful stuff mate.
Great shots. Looks like there's still not much vegetation there.
Simply amazing! I would love to see something like this, but I must admit I'm glad there are no angry volcanoes where I live!

I agree with Micki: I would love to see this for myself! The dark stones look pretty amazing, especially with the steam all over the place.
I want to get to this fascinating place one day. Gorgeous!
