Glow from the oozing lava Stromboli volcano throughout the last night (image: INGV)
Another new lava flow started to spill out from the north crater rim last night.
The volcano observatory in Catania (INGV) reported that a strong and intense spattering from the northeastern vent preceded the event, triggering the lava flow onto the Sciara del Fuoco slope at approx. 20:18 local time yesterday, accompanied by a typical steep rise of volcanic tremor, indicating magma moving upwards through the volcanic conduits. Later on, it decreased again to medium-to-low levels.
The behavior of the volcano is mainly characterized by on-off small short-term lava outputs over the past few weeks.
