Stromboli’s crater terrace this morning with glow from the central vent (image: INGV Catania Pizzo webcam)
 
The activity at the “Lighthouse of the Mediterranean” has been much more intense recently than during most of the year. 
 
Explosions mainly from the eastern vent (towards Stromboli village) have been observed at intervals of approx. 10 minutes, ejecting dense jets of incandescent lava to up to estimated 150 m height. 
 
Continuous glow can be seen from adjacent vents in the central crater area as well, suggesting a relatively high lava column inside the conduit.
