The volcano eruption of Stromboli
Eruptions of Stromboli Volcano
Stromboli, a small island N of Sicily, has been in almost continuous eruption
for over 2,000 years. Its small Strombolian explosions (named after stromboli),
which hurl incandescent scoriae above the crater rim, occur several times
a day, but larger eruptions are less frequent.(GVP). Take care when approaching
Stromboli because activity can change without warning. Stromboli is the
sister volcano of Yasur in Vanuatu. Both Yasur and Stromboli show almost
identical continuous eruptions.
Stromboli's magma chamber
is located at 250 km depth.
