Strombolicchio
Strombolicchio (Italian pronunciation: [stromboˈlikkjo]) is a sea stack of volcanic origin 2 km (1.2 mi) to the northeast of the island of Stromboli in the Aeolian Islands of Italy. Its name in the Sicilian language, Struognulicchiu, means Little Stromboli. Geologically, Strombolicchio is a volcanic plug or spine of extremely hard compacted basalt resistant to erosion, and is the remnant of the original volcano from which the island of Stromboli was built up about 200,000 years ago. The small islet hosts rare flora and fauna, including endangered species, and has been declared a natural reserve with severe restrictions on access.
