  • AEOLIAN ISLANDS STROMBOLI Day One: Stromboli
    AEOLIAN ISLANDS STROMBOLI Day One: Stromboli Stromboli is the northernmost island of the archipelago and the most spectacular for its continuously active volcano. On the way, you will stop for a nice swim in the clear blue water. At sunset the lava from the volcano glowes as it makes its way down to meet the sea with a loud hiss. To watch the eruptions is especially impressive at night Enjoy the volcanic eruptions lighting up the night sky, a fiery display of nature’s incredible power, while you taste the tasteful delicacies of the chef under the stars. PANAREA Day Two/Three: Panarea Morning departure for Panarea. Panerea is tiny, compared to the other islands, but is the most picturesque with its stark white houses and brilliant yellow ginestra bushes. This island is chic and exclusive. By boat is the best way to explore its coastline and enjoy its clear waters that, together with a thriving underwater landscape make this island the best place for snorkeling and diving in the Aeolians. The island’s charm lies not only in its natural beauty but in its unspoiled character and car-free tracks. Most of the beaches are only accessible by sea, like Lisca Bianca, Basiluzzo and Spinazzola. Panerea is also called the "jet-set" island as it is crowded with young celebrities and its nightlife is particularly lively. SALINA Day Four: Salina Salina is a lush island with thick yellow gorse bushes and terraced vineyards. The island is also known for its delicious Malvasia wine, produced in both red and white varieties.

The main deformations are subvertical extension fractures (63% Accepted 13 January 2009 of data), normal faults (25%) and dikes (12%).

These data, matched with those available for Stromboli volcano (pure opening) and Arc volcanoes Vulcano, Lipari and Salina volcanoes (predominant dextral motions) along the eastern-central Arc, suggest Extension Unrest a progressive westward rotation of the extension direction and an increase in the dextral shear. The dextral shear turns into compression in the western arc. The recent unrest at Panarea, coeval to that of nearby Stromboli, may also be explained by the structural context, as both volcanoes lie along the portion of the Arc subject to extension.

  • Competitive Exclusion Between Podarcis Lizards from Tyrrhenian Islands: Inference from Comparative Species Distributions
    Korsos, Z. &Kss, I. (eds) (1992) Proc. Sixth Ord. Gen. Meet. S. E. H., Budapest 1991, pp. 89-93. Competitive exclusion between Podarcis lizards from Tyrrhenian islands: Inference from comparative species distributions MASSIMO CAPULA Podarcis sicula is an opportunistic and eurikous lacertid lizard occurring as autochthon species in peninsular Italy, Sicily and in a number of Tyrrhenian islands and islets (HENLE & KLAVER 1986). It inhabits also the Adriatic coast of Yugosla- via and several Adriatic islands (NEVO et al. 1972). Distributional and genetic data indicate that in some Tyrrhenian islands, e.g. Sardinia, Corsica, Tuscan Archipelago, this lizard has been accidentally introduced by man in proto-historic or historic times, invading the range of other Podarcis species (e.g., P. tiliguerta, P. muralis) (LANZA 1983, 1988, CORTI et al. 1989). In these islands the allochthon P. sicula seems to have competed successfully with the native congeneric species, reducing their range (e.g., P. tiliguerta in Corsica and Sardinia) (LANZA 1983, 1988), or replacing them through competitive exclusion (e.g., P. muralis in the Tuscan Archipelago) (CORTI et al. 1989). In the present paper preliminary data are given on the occurrence of exclusion of P. wagleriana by P. sicula in the Aeolian Islands (Sicily). P. wagleriana is endemic to Sicily, Aegadian, Stagnone (Isola Grande) and Aeolian Islands, and has been traditionally considered closely related to P. sicula. Methods Competitive exclusion is one of the most dramatic natural effects of interspe- cific competition. The competitive superiority of a species has proved to be exceed- ingly difficult to analyze in natural conditions. To overcome this difficulty, we inferred the occurrence of competitive exclusion from the comparative distribu- tions and relative abundance of the two potentially competing species (GiLLER 1984).

  • Destination Sicily There’S a Rich History Behind Sicily’S Complex Character
    16 Destination Sicily There’s a rich history behind Sicily’s complex character.

  • Notes from the Sicilian Archipelago
    Baldacchino: Sicily/Lingering Colonial Outlier - ISLAND REFLECTIONS - LINGERING COLONIAL OUTLIER YET MINIATURE CONTINENT: NOTES FROM THE SICILIAN ARCHIPELAGO GODFREY BALDACCHINO University of Malta/ University of Prince Edward Island <[email protected]> Abstract The fortunes of the wider Mediterranean Sea, the world’s largest, have never rested on Sicily, its largest island. A stubbornly peripheral region, and possibly the world’s most bridgeable island, Sicily has been largely neglected within the field of Island Studies. The physically largest island with the largest population in the region, and housing Europe’s most active volcano, Sicily has moved from being a hinterland for warring factions (Sparta/Athens, Carthage/Rome), to a more centrist stage befitting its location, although still remaining a political outlier in the modern era. Unlike many even smaller islands with smaller populations, however, Sicily has remained an appendage to a larger, and largely dysfunctional, state. The Maltese islands are part of ‘the Sicilian archipelago’, and it was a whim of Charles V of Spain that politically cut off Malta from this node in the 1520s, but not culturally. This article will review some of the multiple representations of this island, and its changing fortunes. Keywords Archipelago, heterotopias, Island Studies, Sicily, Italy, Malta, Mediterranean, periphery Introduction In both its physical and its human setting, the Mediterranean crossroads, the Mediterranean patchwork, leaves a coherent image in the mind as a system in which everything mingles and is then recast to form a new, original unity (Braudel, 1985: 5). On a clear wintry day, one can easily see the snow-capped top of Mount Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano, from various vantage points on the Maltese islands; and the lights along the southern Sicilian coast are also readily visible from the northern hills of Malta during clear nights (see Figure 1).

    SHALLOW-WATER GEOTHERMAL ACTIVITY OFFSHORE PANAREA, AEOLIAN ISLAND ARC, ITALY by Samantha Pascarelli A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date _________________________ Signed: _________________________ Samantha Pascarelli Signed: _________________________ Dr. Thomas Monecke Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date _________________________ Signed: _________________________ Dr. Wendy Bohrson Professor and Department Head Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT Panarea island represents a partially emerged arc volcano forming part of the Aeolian volcanic chain in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea. The island rises from the western sector of a submarine platform representing the eroded summit of a large submarine stratovolcano. Seafloor observations on the eastern portion of the submarine platform have been conducted using a remotely operated vehicle. The seafloor survey resulted in the discovery of a new field of hydrothermal venting between the Secca dei Panarelli and Basiluzzo islet that is typified by quiescent gas venting and the discharge of thermal waters at water depths ranging from 60 to 100 m. The geothermal activity is associated with a wide range of seafloor morphological features, many of which are transient in nature and will not likely be preserved in the geological record. This includes widespread anhydrite-gypsum deposits that have been drilling to a maximum penetration of 5 m below seafloor using a lander-type drilling device. The massive to brecciated hydrothermal deposits contain > 80 % anhydrite and gypsum in addition to alteration minerals formed during subseafloor replacement and infiltration of the volcaniclastic host.
