Vulcano, Aeolian Islands: Vulcano Island is the southernmost island of the Aeolian chain in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the northeast coast of Sicily. The most recent volcanic activity came from its central Fossa cone in 1890. The eight Aeolian Islands -- Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Stromboli, Filicudi, Alicudi, Panarea and Basiluzzo -- are named after a mythological figure, Aeolus.
