Before You Die: Stare into a Volcano by Nick Maes
Stromboli, Italy. Go in either spring or autumn to avoid the summer crowds of Italian holidaymakers and the island will be yours. Looming high above is its volcano – omnipresent and mesmerising, nature at its ultra-violent best. Let a guide take you up to the crater at night to watch tongues of lava spew out into the darkness. Unforgettable.
