The natural landscape: coastal and inland areas

Exploring Pantelleria from the coast or from the inland means discovering two different faces of the island, two different worlds linked together. While the coasts are shaped by the erosive action both of wind and sea, inland has been shaped by many volcanic eruptions in the last 50 thousand years.
Here below there is a brief description about what could be found both in coastal and inland areas. It is also worth mentioning the secondary volcanism of Pantelleria, mark of the underlying volcano that emerges from the depths of Canale di Sicilia.
