We’ll explore the stunning spreader region, underscored by the Punta Cavazzi lighthouse, where you’ll encounter and learn about: magnetic ‘dazzling’ rocks that disrupt compass readings, a land cave that extends to the ocean, impressive basaltic columns set in a resurfaced beach, rocks that emanate with a sci-fi luminescence, and a fault line extensively analyzed by geologists worldwide. All of this unfolds in remarkable scenery framed by a black cliff, sculpted by prehistoric lava outbursts, against the backdrop of the sparkling sea.
