Stromboli volcano (Italy): activity back to normal levels, summit reopened

2-3 few days ago, the activity of Stromboli decreased significantly from its record intensity observed during the first half of September, and is now back at normal levels.
The NE crater (towards Stromboli Village and well visible from along the Sciara del Fuoco) is still showing impressive explosions of liquid lava bubbles every 15-30 minutes, with explosions typically reaching 100-200 m height, showering the outer flanks of the cone with glowing bombs, many of which then roll down the Sciara into the sea.
At least 2 other vents in the central and NW crater area also display strombolian eruptions of similar intensity at slightly longer intervals. Only weak spattering occurs from time to time from the NW cone.
Excursions to the summit area of Stromboli, now open again, have resumed.
