Stromboli volcano photos: eruptions, tours and the island

Stromboli volcano photos

During a visit in mid to late July 2021, Stromboli was showing very regular and typical strombolian activity from several vents. Most notably though, the NE cone produced quite impressive eruptions at intervals of 15-20 minutes. Overall, activity at the volcano in this period was low to medium.

Stromboli volcano (Eolian Islands, Italy): strombolian activity July 2021 (9 Images)

During the first part of June, activity at Stromboli volcano was one of the most intense periods during several years. At most times, up to 6 or 7 vents were active, most notably the two eastern vents, closely followed and sometimes surpassed by the two western vents.
The following pictures were taken on 9, 11, and 16 June, from various viewpoints and give an idea of this activity.

Las siguientes fotos fueron tomadas durante nuestros recientes viajes en grupo a Vulcano, Stromboli y Etna en finales de octubre y principios de noviembre de 2013. La actividad más vigorosa fue de los respiraderos NW (hacia Ginostra) que estalló en intervalos de 5-15 minutos, enviando material incandescente a alturas de hasta 200-300 m. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

Photographs taken by volcanologist Dr Ingrid Smet when she observed Stromboli’s volcanic activity from 24 to 26 July 2019. During this time span, the volcano remained at a level of higher than usual activity with very frequent Strombolian explosions. Some of these were so strong that at night one could observe the glowing bombs from the village. The lava flows that occurred after the 3 July paroxysm were also still active on the upper parts of the western edge of the Sciara.

In January 2019, magma levels inside Stromboli volcano's conduits rise almost to the rim, producing spectacular activity from several vents. In particular, a large cinder cone has been growing from the NE vent.
The photo shown here illustrate this activity as observed during the evening of 20 Jan 2019. You can find a activity report here.

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)

Stromboli 2014: explosions and lava flow into the sea

[ocultar]

For the first time since 2007, Stromboli has a new lava flow reaching the sea since 7 August 2014. Some impressions from a visit during 8-12 Aug: (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

Fotos volcán de Stromboli: Flujo de lava en el mar 08 2014 (32 Images)

After two months of impressive and increasing activity at the summit vents, including several short-lived lava overflows, the magma inside the upper conduits breached the lower flank of the NE crater on the morning of 7 August, causing a massive surge of lava running down the Sciara. Within less than 20 minutes, it reached the sea, for the first time since 2007.
The volcano's plumbing system being "pierced" at a lower point than the summit, the rising magma continued to pour out from the new vent forming a beautiful lava flow. We visited the volcano during 8-12 August: (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

Una erupción efusiva comenzó en Stromboli el 07 de agosto de 2014 y continuó en octubre. Después de los primeros 5-10 días, flujos de lava ya no alcanzaron el mar, pero producen diferentes canales de flujos de lava activos en la parte superior de la pendiente. Constantes desprendimientos de estos flujos proporcionan una vista fascinante sobre todo de noche. Las siguientes fotos fueron tomadas durante nuestra reciente visita a Stromboli y Etna de 5-13 Oct de 2014. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)
