Sciara del Fuoco explained

Sciara del Fuoco is a talus scree[1] or depression located on Stromboli Island in Italy.[2] It runs along the island's northern flank[3] and is bounded by two ridges.[4] It now serves as a major tourist attraction on the island.

Formation

Sciara del Fuoco was formed as a result of a sector collapse around 5,000 years ago.[5] Due to this, it is sometimes referred to as a scar. It was formed by lava, lapilli, and incandescent waste.[6]
