Palinuro is a seamount in the Tyrrhenian Sea north of the Eolian Islands. It rises nearly 3000 m to within 70 m of the sea surface and has a horseshoe-shaped summit caldera. Marine and on-land ash deposits dated to approx. 10,000 years ago are believed to be from eruptions of Palinuro volcano.

Background
A marine ash layer (PL-1) radiocarbon dated (calibrated age) at 9990 +/- 90 years ago is chemically and stratigraphically similiar to two ash layers of similar composition onland in southern Italy and was tentatively correlated to the Palinuro seamount activity (Siani et al., 2004).Eruzioni vulcaniche significative: Palinuro volcano
No historic eruptions are known from Palinuro volcano, but at least one eruption around 8040 BC can be inferred from geological evidence.

Remark:
Our list of volcanic eruptions closely follows the database of eruptions of the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Project (GVP), the internationally most recognized data source for volcanic eruptions, but also includes significant eruptive episodes or related volcano events. "Volcanic eruptions" are usually to be understood as sequences of individual eruptive episodes that can follow each other, or even overlap (if several vents are involved), and can last many years, decades or even longer. For example, the current activity of Stromboli volcano is understood as a single eruption that has been ongoing since 1934.
