Stromboli, updates on volcanic activity

The monitoring activity on Stromboli volcano continues carried on by the Civil Protection Department in collaboration with the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (Ingv) of Catania, Naples and Palermo and the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Florence. 

Currently, as highlighted today by the Etnean Observatory of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, the effusive activity of the volcano continues even if it would seem to be less fueled.

On the basis of the phenomenology and hazard assessments made available by the Centres of Competence, the alert level of Stromboli is orange following the collapse of the outer sector of one of the cones of the crater area North occurred on May 19, which generated a pyroclastic flow along the Sciara del Fuoco, propagated on the surface of the sea for over 1 km from the coastline.
