Streams of lava flow from Stromboli volcano through the night after a strong eruption spewed fiery chunks onto the tiny Italian island.
Stromboli volcano erupted again spectacularly Wednesday, shortly after noon, spouting sand, ash and lava dashing down the steep slopes to the sea.
The eruption was preceded by a loud boom followed by a large cloud, which engulfed the volcano and island and was seen kilometers away by vacationers on boats in the surrounding waters around the island. About 5,000 residents and visitors are on the island at present, a popular but rugged summer destination.
There were no reports of victims or damage. Civil protection officials say the situation is under control although they are still keeping hikers off the volcano’s slopes. An earlier unexpected eruption this summer on July 3 killed an Italian hiker who was on the side of the volcano at the time.
