Stromboli's activity is almost exclusively explosive, but lava flows do occur at times when volcanic activity is high, an effusive eruption occurred in , the first in 17 years, and again in , , , and Stromboli volcano has been particularly active in recent weeks, and spectacular eruptions have been captured in numerous videos that show the incredible phenomenon.
In these images below, captured by Landsat 8 during both night and day, we can also see this phenomenon from a different perspective; from space. Another aim of these images is to promote the opportunity to download Landsat data through the ESA portals , where images captured every day are made available in near real time to the users and the scientific community.
