Sun Sets Behind Stromboli Volcano, Italy

Sun setting behind Stromboli Volcano is seen from Briatico, Italy, on September 11th, 2025. In some areas of the west coast of Calabria (Costa degli dei) the "Sunset of Ulysses" is visible in some periods of the year. This is the phenomenon whereby the sun seems to set inside the crater of Stromboli. Stromboli it is an active stratovolcano forming part of the Aeolian arc, located on the island of the same name, and is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Stromboli island belongs to the Aeolian archipelago. (Photo by Lorenzo Di Cola/NurPhoto)
