Stromboli, a small island north of Sicily, is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and famous for its normally small, but regular explosions throwing out glowing lava from several vents inside its summit crater. This activity has been going on for at least 2000 years, as long as there is written memory of the activity, which Stromboli lended its name to, the so-called strombolian activity. stratovolcano 926 m Eolian Islands, Italy, 38.79°N / 15.21°E Current status: erupting (4 out of 5) Stromboli webcams / live data | ReportsStromboli volcano videosStromboli volcano books | Tours | Places to stayStromboli volcano eruptions:Persistant (near-constant) activity since at least 2-3000 years.

Paroxysm 3 July 2019Typical eruption style:Small explosive (strombolian) eruptions, typically every 20-30 mins. Intermittently, ca. every 2-20 years, minor effusive eruptions (lava flows); on average 2-5 times per year larger explosions.

Lava flow and explosions in Jan 2013 Eruption updates & news from Stromboli:Stromboli volcano (Eolian Islands, Italy) activity updateSaturday Jul 06, 2019 08:51 AM | BY: T  Strombolian eruption this morning from Stromboli's western vent (image: Vulcani a piedi webcam)  Aerial view of the craters yesterday, showing the western (l) and NE (r) vents are now deep pits left by the collapse during the paroxysm (image: INGVvulcani / facebook)  Two parallel pyroclastic flows generated by the collapse of the western and eastern vent areas on 3 July (image: LBZ webcam)  Current activity level is high (image: LBZ) Activity at the volcano remains intense, but as typical for the volcano: Several vents, most notably the collapsed western and northeastern ones show very frequent moderate to strong strombolian explosions and near-continuous spattering.
Both areas in the crater had suffered major collapse during the 3 July paroxysm as fresh aerial images published by INGV showed. It can be estimated that a volume equivalent of the combined erupted material since 2014 has been removed during the event. When it occurred, two separate pyroclastic flows were traveling down the Sciara as can be seen on the attached webcam image.
