Map of today's active volcanoesStromboli (Eolian Islands, Italy): (18 Jun) The Sezione di Catania - Osservatorio Etneo (INGV) reported that eruptive activity continued at Stromboli during 8-14 June. Webcam images showed Strombolian activity from five vents in Area N within the upper part of the Sciara del Fuoco, and from at least two vents in Area C-S (South-Central Crater) on the crater terrace. The vents in Area N (two in sector N1 and three in sector N2) continued to produce medium-intensity explosions, ejecting lapilli and bombs above the vents, during most of the week.An explosion at 0712 on 12 June was followed by three lower-intensity explosions that occurred within a few minutes. An eruption cloud was produced but quickly dispersed. The event ejected lapilli, bombs, and lava spatter onto the upper parts of the Sciara del Fuoco, some of which was channeled down the flank. ...
