Ein kräftiger Ausbruch am Stromboli

Stromboli ist die nördlichste der 7 Äolischen Inseln im Norden von Sizilien. Der gleichnamige Vulkan ist einer der berühmtesten der Erde, bekannt durch seine seit Jahrhunderten andauernde explosive Daueraktivität, die nach ihm als "strombolianisch" bezeichnet wird.
Der Stromboli ist einer der weltweit ganz wenigen daueraktiven Vulkane. Der vorherrschende strombolianische Ausbruchstyp besteht aus kleinen regelmäßigen Explosionen von relativ flüssiger Lava, die durch rhythmische Entgasungsvorgänge im magmagefüllten Schlot hervorgerufen werden.

[smaller] [larger]

Typische Aktivität: Kleine, explosive strombolische Eruptionen, die typischerweise alle 20-30 Minuten stattfinden. Alle 5-20 Jahre gibt es meist kleinere effusive Eruptionen mit Lavaströmen und 2-5 mal im Jahr größere Explosionen.
Ausbrüche des Stromboli: Fast konstante Aktivität in den letzten 2000-3000 Jahren. Lavastrom und Eruption z.B. im Dezember 2002 - Juli 2003, März 2007, August 2014.

Beschreibung

Die nördlichste der Äolischen Inseln, Stromboli, ist für seinen gleichnamigen Vulkan mit seinen regelmäßigen Ausbrüchen berühmt, die diesem Typ von Tätigkeit den Namen "strombolianisch" geliehen haben.
Schon in der Atike war die Insel als "Leuchtturm des Tyrrhenischen Meers" bekannt. Es gibt weltweit nur ganz wenige Vulkane, die in solcher Regelmäßigkeit aktiv sind wie der Stromboli - und die Aufzeichnungen reichen weit in die Antike zurück!
Meistens sind es kleine Explosionen, die Lavafragmente in gerade Höhen von ca. 100-200 m schiessen und selten außerhalb der Kraterränder niederfallen. Jedoch gibt es ab und zu stärkere Eruptionen oder Perioden mit fortwährender, starker Aktivität. Die gewalttätigsten Eruptionen in den letzten Jahrhunderten waren 1919, 1930 und zuletzt 2003. Sie richteten teilweise beträchtlichen Schäden in den beiden Dörfern der Insel. In Zeiten starker Tätigkeit ist der Gipfel normalerweise für Besucher gesperrt.
Zusätzlich zu den Gipfeleruptionen gibt es Zeiten, in denen Lavaströme ins Meer fliessen. Diese Aktivitäten können sich über einige Jahre oder Jahrzehnte erstrecken. Die letzten Ausbruchsphasen mit Lavaströmen waren vom 28.12.2002 - Juli 2003 und im März 2007.

Für Besucher bietet Stromboli die einzigartige Möglichkeit, Ausbrüche aus der Nähe vom Rand eines älteren Kraters aus relativ sicherer Entfernung zu beobachten. Trotz der großen Besuchermenge hat es bisher relativ wenig Unfälle gegeben, die meist auf das unvorsichtige Verhalten der Besucher zurückzuführen waren.
Stromboli ist nicht nur für Vulkanologen interessant, sondern auch für Naturfreunde und Erholungssüchtige: üppige Vegetation, angenehmes Klima, reizvolle Dörfer, viel Ruhe und eine schwer wiederzugebende eigene Atmosphäre erwarten den Besucher, der sich Zeit nimmt zu verweilen. Viele kommen daher immer wieder.

2022 Dez 4: Ref #13386 states that the data from the cameras and instruments that detected phenomenon show that the tsunami was generated by the impact on the sea surface from a rather intense pyroclastic flow, similar to the one that occurred in early October (but more intense). (Note: unofficial translation) Ref #13390 states that on the afternoon of 4 December 2022, some volcanic events occurred involving the crater area of Stromboli and the Sciara del Fuoco and which have no direct relationship with the seismic event of magnitude ML 4.6 recorded at 8:12 local time with epicenter located southwest of the island of Vulcano. At 14:10 UTC a lava overflow and a concomitant intense explosive activity started both from the northern crater area; subsequently a more intense explosion occurred from the central-southern crater area and small collapses of material were observed along the upper part of the Sciara del Fuoco. As lava overflow and explosive activity continued, one (or more) pyroclastic flow(s) was formed probably triggered by the collapse of part of the crater rim of the North sector. At 15:19 UTC there was another pyroclastic flow which lasted several minutes and produced abundant quantities of ash which temporarily blocked the view of the summit area. The fine material was dispersed by light southwesterly winds. The pyroclastic flows generated, which spread along the Sciara del Fuoco, gave rise to a large amount of ash and, once they reached the coast, generated an anomaly in the sea level which was recorded by the MEDE observation system.

2022 Okt 9: At 9:22 today 9 October 2022 (7:22 UTC), a lava overflow in the Central sector of the crater area caused the collapse of a portion of the crater rim which gave rise to a pyroclastic flow on the Sciara del Fuoco . The flow reached the shoreline in about 26 seconds and impacted the water at a terminal velocity of about 50 m / s. (Note: unofficial translation) Cited references #2432 Venzke, E., R.W.

2019 Aug 28: It has been a paroxysmal explosion of less intensity compared to the one of last July 3, however the whole system is on alert and the volcano is constantly monitored", said the Head of Department Angelo Borrelli, who presided over the crisis unit gathered today, at 2 p.m., in the headquarters of Via Vitorchiano in Rome after the paroxysmal explosion occurred on the Stromboli volcano at 12.17 this morning. In close contact with the mayor of Lipari, Marco Giorgianni, the Department of Civil Protection of the Sicilian Region, the Prefecture of Messina, the Etnean Observatory of the INGV and other centres of expertise, the Fire Department, the Harbour Master's Office and the various operational structures of the civil protection system, including the Armed Forces and the Police Forces, the situation on the island of Stromboli was assessed just a few hours after the explosion, which also caused a 30-centimeter tsunami wave, constantly monitored. No damage to people or property has been detected as a result of the explosion, nor is there any leakage. The access to the volcano is forbidden by the Mayor since the explosions that took place last July. At the moment, the activities of monitoring the paths leading to the volcano keep going. Soon after the explosion, two canadairs have been sent to the island with the aim of extinguishing the fires caused by the explosion in the shortest possible time. The Harbour Master's Office provided some boats for the eventuality of a transfer of people. The island has also been banned from recreational boat traffic. Scheduled transfers, on the other hand, are guaranteed. Besides the activation of the whole system, the volunteers on the island are constantly informing the population about the situation and the preventive measures to adopt. The alarm sirens and all the measures provided for in the civil protection plan have also been activated shortly after the explosion.

2019 Jul 3: Stromboli was hit by a set of violent eruptions Wednesday and the Mayor of Lipari, the biggest of the Aeolian Islands off Sicily that Stromboli belongs too, said one person was killed. Mayor Marco Giorgianni told ANSA that the victim was tourist who had trekked up to the summit of the volcano. The eruptions caused scared beach tourists to take to the sea. Two new lava spouts are creeping down the volcano on the famed island. The volcano is also shooting out red-hot rocks called lapilli which are setting fore to cane breaks, local sources said. "A huge column of dense black smoke is coming out of the crater," an eye witness said. Another said "there was a powerful explosion. We heard a bang, then a column of smoke and lapilli fell onto Ginostra, and flames on the slopes of the volcano". Fires have broken out across the island, fire services and forest rangers said. A journalist and owner of a bazar at Ginsotra, Gianluca Giuffre, told ANSA "all the people who were in the village about a hundred tourists and residents, either holed up at home or threw themselves into the sea. (reference #12459) Two pyroclastic flows were produced as a result of the explosions; they traveled down the Sciara and across the water for about 1 km before collapsing into the sea (figure 150). A hiker from Sicily was killed in the eruption and a Brazilian friend who was with him was badly injured, according to a Sicilian news source, ANSA, and the New York Post. They were hit by flying ejecta while hiking in the Punta dei Corvi area, due W of the summit and slightly N of Ginostra, about 100 m above sea level according to INGV. Most of the ejecta from the explosion dispersed to the WSW of the summit. Fallout also ignited vegetation on the slopes which narrowly missed destroying structures in the town.

2002 Dez 30: On 30 December at 1315 and 1322 two landslides suddenly formed along the Sciara del Fuoco. As they traveled down the volcano's flank they produced wet, fine ashfall (less than 0.1 mm in size) on the island's SE side. The first landslide had a volume of about 600,000 m3, the second about 5,000,000 m3, and they both reached the sea. Upon contact with the sea the landslides produced two tsunamis with waves that were several meters high. The tsunamis injured few people, and damaged buildings and boats in the villages of Stromboli and Ginostra. Large waves were reported as far away as the town of Milazzo, on Sicily's N coast, 60 km S of Stromboli... According to several news articles, volcanic activity at Stromboli on 30 December caused a landslide, which entered the sea and generated a tsunami. The articles stated that in the small village of Ginostra, waves injured six people, and damaged homes and boats. Residents and tourists were evacuated to nearby Sicily.

A stream of lava entered the sea at Sciara del Fuoco, and concomitantly water waves were observed that nearly caused the shipwreck of a boat. A hot avalanche at the Forgia Vecchia, on the opposite side of the island, reached the coast where big waves were noted [...] No news, either about the eruption or about the tsunami, was found in contemporary newspapers, which is not strange, since in that world-war period, their attention was attracted by much more dramatic events.

1930 Sep 11: 1930, September 11. Three people killed by pyroclastic flows and a fourth died after being scalded in the sea near the point where the flows reached the coast. One person died from a tsunami and another from a falling block. (reference #9675) 1930, September 11. A catastrophic eruption occurred on Stromboli on 11 September 1930. It was heralded by strong explosions and hot avalanches, and reached its climax with a lava flow along with a tsunami (Rittmann, 1931, ref #5043). Six people were killed and 20 injured; moreover, huge damage was reported at all the villages of the island (Abbruzzese, 1936, ref #10539). (reference #10187) 1930, September 11. Hot avalanche and blocks, bombs and scoria fallout on Ginostra, a block of 30 tons destroys the semaphore of Labronzo, up to 150 kg blocks fall on the village of Stromboli, tsunami, secondary lava flows, 6 deaths, 22 injured. (reference #10534) 1930, September 11. This is one the most impressive events occurred at Stromboli in the last 200 years: the eyewitnesses’ accounts are still rich in pathos and details. On September 11, at 10:00, a first tremendous explosion threw a large amount of volcanic material and lava bombs particularly on the western and southwestern side of the island. Hot avalanches and two secondary lava flows were originated. One of them stopped very close to the church of San Bartolo and the other entered the sea at Piscita`. At Ginostra, most roofs were destroyed. A second explosion, shortly after the first one, produced a dense rain of ash and tephra. Lava blocks hit the north-western and north-eastern side of the island, killing four persons and injuring several people at the villages of San Vincenzo and San Bartolo, where moreover many fires burnt the surrounding fields. The paroxysm lasted for about 20 min. A tsunami followed the explosion and was responsible of two more fatalities. (reference #3078) Note: death at Piscita due to the heat of the lava that had come in contact with the sea water, not attribute to tsunami in NCEI database. As a result only 1 tsunami death (at Punta Lena / San Vincenzo beach) and 5 volcano deaths.

The vertically directed shock, which lasted 3 s, shook the entire island. It was rather strong on the shore of Calabria between Amantea and Cape Vaticano, as well as on the other Lipari Islands (Salina, Lipari, Panarea, Vulcano). The approximately 10 m rise of water was noticed on the Island of Stromboli, especially in the direction toward S. Bartolo. (reference #2130) Cited references #2130 Soloviev, Sergey L., Olga N.

Anmerkung:

Unsere Liste von Vulkanausbrüchen orientiert sich eng an der Datenbank des Global Volcanism Project (GVP) des Smithsonian Instituts, der international anerkanntesten globalen Datenquelle für Vulkanausbrüche. Sie schließt aber auch bedeutende Eruptionsepisoden oder damit zusammenhängende Vulkanereignisse ein. Unter "Vulkanausbrüchen" versteht man in der Regel meist Serien einzelner Eruptionsepisoden, die zeitlich aufeinander folgen oder sich (bei mehreren beteiligten Ausbruchspunkten an einem Vulkan) auch überlappen können und unter Umständen viele Jahre, Jahrzehnte oder noch länger andauern können. So ist z.B. die aktuelle Tätigkeit des Stromboli als ein einziger Ausbruch verstanden, der seit 1934 anhält.
