Lava flow on Stromboli's Sciara del Fuoco Thursday night (image: INGVvulcani / facebook)
Another short-lived lava flow on the Sciara del Fuoco occurred in the evening of Thursday, 17 June. Starting from 21:10 local time and accompanied by a moderate rockfall event on the slope, lava over-spilled from the northern crater area and formed a flow on the upper Sciara about 200 m long.

The volcano went through a small peak of activity during yesterday morning until today: Starting from about 16:00 local time, spattering activity and explosions from the northern vent area increased significantly.

The volcano experienced a brief phase of elevated activity in the form of near-continuous lava spattering from the northern vents that had started Sunday (30 May) evening around 20:50 local time and lasted approx. 12 hours.

It seems the lava flow from the northeastern vent that had been the result of overflow from the crater after its partial collapse last week is no longer active this morning.

The lava flow has decreased significantly in intensity during last night, but according to the volcano observatory still remained weakly active today. Judging from webcam imagery, however, it appears it might more or less have stopped by this evening.

The lava flow on the upper half of the Sciara del Fuoco remains active with very little visible changes in activity since yesterday overall. Apparently, lava effusion rates are stable for the moment and high enough to maintain the lava flow reaching about 400-500 m elevation, i.e. half way down to the sea.

Effusive activity continues without significant changes compared to yesterday. The lava flow on the Sciara is reaching about half way down the slope, and generates frequent small glowing rockfalls that reach the shore. The front of the flow is stable at around 450 m a.s.l.

The lava flow on the Sciara del Fuoco remains active. According to the latest information from INGV Catania, it is still well alimented although its active front has receded to the upper middle portion of the slope, suggesting that effusion rate has been declining.

The flow on the Sciara del Fuoco that started yesterday, following the partial collapse of the northeastern crater causing a pyroclastic flow, is still active.

After an aerial survey of staff from the volcanological institute in Catania (INGV), scientists concluded that part of the rim of the northeast crater had collapsed, producing a landslide that turned into the observed pyroclastic flow earlier today.

Shortly after the previously reported major event, which was first seen as a large ash plume rising from the area, a new lava flow started to emerge from a vent in the summit area, descended on the Sciara del Fuoco and reached the sea. How large it is is still unclear, but the fact that it reached the shore quickly suggests it might have an important rate of lava flow.

According to the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), the visual activity at the volcano remains at typical low to moderate levels, characterized by weak to moderate strombolian explosions associated with occasional spattering from vents.

The visual activity at the volcano remains at typical low to moderate levels, characterized by weak to moderate strombolian explosions mainly from the NE vent, as well as spattering and puffing from other vents in the crater terrace.

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.
