The Palinuro is an active underwater volcano in the southern part of the Tyrrhenian Sea west of the coast of the Cilento , which is about 65 km away.
The mountain range of the Palinuro complex extends over about 50 km in a west-east direction with a maximum extension of 22 km at the base and has several (5-8) peaks, the main peak of which is the Palinuro, which is up to 70 m below the Water surface rises.
In the event of an eruption of the volcano or landslides on its flanks, tsunamis can be expected, which could reach the coast in around 20 minutes.
