Viewed at night-time, Stromboli presents a far more striking and singular spectacle.
It would be very fortunate for students of antiquity if similar disasters had happened to cities in other ancient civilized lands, however unfortunate it might have been to their inhabitants. But doubtless we are better off without knowledge gained from ruins thus produced. Eruptions of Vesuvius, Etna and Stromboli.
