Stromboli volcano

stratovolcano 926 m
Eolian Islands, Italy, 38.79°N / 15.21°E
Current status: erupting (4 out of 5) Stromboli volcano eruptions:
Persistant (near-constant) activity since at least 2-3000 years. Most recent effusive (lava flow) eruptions from Dec. 2002-July 2003, March 2007, Aug-Oct 2014. Paroxysm 3 July 2019
Typical eruption style:
Small explosive (strombolian) eruptions, typically every 20-30 mins. Intermittently, ca. every 2-20 years, minor effusive eruptions (lava flows); on average 2-5 times per year larger explosions.

Strombolian activity at Stromboli early this morning (image: LGS webcam)

Friday's lava flow on the Sciara del Fuoco did not stay active very long as the effusive activity from the base of the NE vent that had fed the flow dropped again.
As a consequence, the lava flow ceased some time during the night to Saturday and is now no longer active. At the vents, the regular strombolian activity continues at low levels with no significant visible changes.
Friday's event in particular demonstrated that the volcano, or, at least as far as the configuration of the summit vents and their activity, is far from being in a stable condition and surprises and short-notice changes in eruptive behavior are always possible, maybe more so now than during much of the past years.

A short phase of elevated activity occurred at the volcano last night. A small surge of magma apparently resulted in a series of lava flows from the northern vents onto the upper Sciara del Fuoco, generating beautiful incandescent rockfalls on the steep slope. None of the flows reached more than about 100-200 m length and none remained active very long. ... read all
