The highest point of the three islands is in Linosa that has volcanic origins and is Monte Vulcano 186m (over sea level).

History of Lampedusa

The name of Pelagie archipelago (in Greek 'Pelaghiè', or 'Islands of the high seas'), betrays the origins of a Greek Mediterranean island. Phoenicians, Saracens, Romans and Greeks all probability used the island as a landing place for Mediterranean crossings since the beginning of civilization. There are only echoes of this history as only very few historical testimonies are left. The name of the island Lampedusa has uncertain origins. Probably it derives from the effect that flashes of frequent thunderstorms in the Mediterranean had, that lit the island and made it visible far away for the sailors wandering on the sea.

Flora and fauna

Due to their geographical position in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea the Pelagie Islands are a place where flora and fauna of the warmer eastern waters and the western waters, influenced of the Atlantic currents, meet. The maquis (typical Mediterranean vegetation) has disappeared. Nowadays and the most common form of the steppe vegetation is undergrowth with daffodil (Asteraceae) and squill (Scilla). The vegetation on the coast is characterized by vast fields sea lavender (Limonium lopadusanum). A jewel is the Caralluma europaea, a North African plant that looks like a cactus and in Europe only occurs on Lampedusa and in the south of Spain. The North African cornflower (Centaurea acaulis) thrives on Lampedusa. The fauna of Lampedusa is clearly influenced by North Africa. So there is the whip snake (Coluber) and the lizard Psammodromus algrius on Conigli. On the rocks nest the Eleonora's falcon (Falco eleonorae) and the Barbary falcon (Falco pelegrinoides) and the rare crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax aristotelis) and the yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis). There are a great variety of insects such as the Pamphagus ortolaniae, a large grasshopper without wings, and the beetle Julodis onopordi. On the beach of Conigli the sea turtle Caretta Caretta lays her eggs in early summer. Unfortunately, tourism is a serious threat to the survival of this animal.
