		Ferdinandea's most recent appearance as an island was in July 1831.

		The dispute over Ferdinandea has now been overshadowed by the discovery that the former island is just one outcrop of a far grander volcano, the largest seamount (underwater mountain) off the Italian coast, and one that is still active, though for now emitting only gas.
		Professor Giovanni Lanzafame, of Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Vulcanology, named the volcano Empedocles, after the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher who lived in Sicily and plunged headfirst into the crater of Mount Etna, still highly active today, in the interests of scientific research.
