A major explosion took place at Stromboli’s Northern crater at 19:06 UTC on August 8, 2023, leading to lava overflows on the outer slope. The eruption came with a sharp spike in tremor, and its aftermath showed a decrease in spattering activity from the North crater area.
A new in-depth study reveals the potential eruption risk at Italy’s Campi Flegrei, also known as the ‘supervolcano’, has increased. The research, published on June 9, 2023, shows that the volcano has been showing signs of increased activity, raising both concerns and interest among scientists.
Activity at Italy’s Etna volcano increased on May 6, 2023, after nearly 2 months of quiescence. The activity further increased on May 21, producing a new paroxysm and resulting in a temporary suspension of flight operations at Catania Airport.
An explosive sequence at the Stromboli volcano in Italy on January 30, 2023, caused the launch of coarse pyroclastic material at several hundred meters in height and produced an ash cloud that quickly dispersed southward.
Effusive eruption with active lava flow continues at Etna volcano, Italy since November 27, 2022.
Intense explosions and large pyroclastic flows took place at Stromboli volcano, Italy on December 4, 2022, generating a small local tsunami.
A new eruptive fissure event opened at the northeastern base of Etna’s SE crater on November 27, 2022. The vent was first seen at around 17:00 UTC when persistent cloud coverage thinned.
Etna showed signs of increased unrest on November 15, 2022, forcing the Etna Volcano Observatory to raise the Aviation Color Code for the volcano from Green to Yellow. It was lowered back to Green at 10:20 UTC on November 16 after geophysical parameters returned to background levels.
A new lava flow formed on Stromboli volcano, Italy on November 16, 2022. The activity follows major explosive eruptions at the end of September and significant pyroclastic flows in October.
Pyroclastic flows and lava overflow were observed on the Sciara del Fuoco, Stromboli volcano on October 9, 2022.
