      northeasternmost of the Eolie (Lipari) Islands, in the Tyrrhenian Sea (of the Mediterranean), off northeastern Sicily. It has an area of 5 square miles (12 square km). Of volcanic formation, the island is still active, and fluid lava flows continuously from its crater to the sea, although the last serious eruption was in 1921. Dates, olives, and fruits are grown, and tourism is important to the economy. Visitors are attracted by the island's volcano, climate, and beaches.
