Stromboli, Italy
Stromboli is one of the Aeolian Islands of Italy. It is one of the most
active volcanoes on Earth. It has been in nearly continuous eruption
for about 2,000 years.
- September 8, 1998
- Stromboli had another explosive eruption
on the evening of September 8. The explosion is believed to have shattered
windows at San Bartolo. Vegetation on the slopes of the volcano also
caught fire from this activity. This explosion was stronger than the
August 23 event.
- August 23, 1998
- A large explosion from Stromboli was
heard throughout the entire island on August 23. A column of ash and
lapilli stretched high above the volcano, and bombs fell in many different
areas around the volcano. The activity started several fires on the
upper slopes of Stromboli. Many physical changes have also occurred
on the crater rim due to this activity.
