Stromboli volcano photos

Stromboli volcano photos:

In August and early September 2011, Stromboli's activity was at unusually strong levels. Powerful explosions from the NE vent often sent bombs to more than 500m high, reaching Pizzo and the Bastimento viewing areas (which remained closed most of the time). Small intracrater lava flows were observed in this period as well. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

During January 2013, Stromboli produced frequent small and a few larger short-lived lava flows from the breached NE crater which reached about half way down the Sciara del Fuoco. The following photos show the activity between 7-15 Jan. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

Photos were taken during 30 Dec 2012 and 2 Jan 2013 from the 400m view point, Pizzo, and Bastimento. The northeastern vent produced very powerful and bright explosions of liquid lava, with ejections into all directions reaching several hundred meters in height and throwing incandescent lava bombs over the upper crater slope.

During our recent Stromboli to Etna tour, our group climbed Stromboli volcano on 15 July with a mountain guide and were lucky to have excellent weather and very strong activity from several vents. In particular, spectacular activity was occurring from the NE cone, which exploded large liquid lava bubbles, showering the outside flank with glowing bombs. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

In July 2009, Stromboli's activity was at normal to high levels, with typical stormbolian eruptions from NW, central and NE vent. The phtos here were taken on July 8 and 14 during exceptionally clear weather (levante and scirocco winds) at the summit. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

As part of the Stromboli to Etna tour, we visited Stromboli island in October 2007. We show some of the tour hotos taken during our stay on the island where we also climbed up to the craters. (c)

Stromboli's activity was extraordinarily high during much of 2006, as we could find during our repeated visits on our tours. There were about 10 active vents, most of which ejected material, sometimes to up to 3-400 m height. On one occasion, one of the vents (a steep cone in the NE corner of the central crater; it collapsed shortly after) was blowing countless beautiful gas rings ("smoke rings"). Tom presents you a sample of his photos, all taken at the end of June and beginning of July 2006. (c)
