Lava overflow activity increased at Stromboli from 21:20 LT (19:20 UTC) on May 4, 2026, sending a flow from the North crater area down the Sciara del Fuoco to the coastline by about 03:00 LT (01:00 UTC) on May 5. INGV reported average volcanic tremor, a slight increase in explosion-related earthquakes, and no significant GNSS change.
Stromboli’s North Crater area is producing intense spattering on May 4, 2026, feeding a lava overflow onto the Sciara del Fuoco, INGV-OE reported at 11:21 UTC. The lava front was in the middle-upper section of the slope, while volcanic tremor was in the high range.
A lava overflow began from Stromboli’s northern crater area on November 13, 2025, sending a confined lava flow down the upper Sciara del Fuoco.
A lava overflow started from Stromboli’s North Crater area at around 10:00 UTC (11:00 LT) on November 9, 2025, feeding a lava flow on the upper Sciara del Fuoco. The activity, observed by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) through surveillance cameras, was accompanied by modest but continuous spattering from at least two vents in the North Crater area.
An increase in volcanic tremor accompanied by lava overflow from the North crater area has been observed at Stromboli volcano on February 28, 2025. The activity includes a modest lava fountain at vent N2, with the lava flow confined to the upper portion of the Sciara del Fuoco.
Effusive lava activity has been observed with lava overflowing from the northern summit area at Stromboli volcano, Italy since 07:08 LT (06:08 UTC) on February 6, 2025. The Aviation Color Code remains at Orange.
Intensifying spattering activity in the northern area led to a lava overflow down the upper Sciara del Fuoco at Stromboli volcano in the Aeolian Islands, Italy on Tuesday, December 24, 2024. INGV reported it was accompanied by heightened seismic activity and increased tremor amplitudes.
Stromboli’s North Crater experienced a significant increase in volcanic activity on November 6, 2024, marked by intensified spattering starting at 17:55 UTC. This activity led to a lava overflow that formed a steady flow down the Sciara del Fuoco, a prominent volcanic slope on the island’s northwest side, reaching the coastline.
Stromboli experienced a series of high-energy explosions on November 2 and 3, 2024, starting with an eruption in the northern crater at 14:20 UTC, followed by another in the same area and a third in the central-southern crater. These events caused hot material to slip down the Sciara del Fuoco and initiated an active lava flow from the north crater.
Moderate strombolian activity at Stromboli’s North Crater area on October 8, 2024, led to lava overflow, which gradually diminished by the morning of October 9 before intensifying again.
