- Stromboli's Central Crater at its best: late April 2005 -
29 April + 1 May 2005: Mild activity from Stromboli's NE crater |
Candle-like explosions projecting glowing bombs to up to 150 m from a new cone in the central vent cluster of Stromboli volcano on 29 April, 2005. Other two glowing weakly spattering vents are visible in front of the cone towards the observer, as well as a second glowing (but not erupting) cone and weak spattering from a hidden vent at the right end of the crater (NE crater). Note the shadow of Stromboli island on the layer of clouds at low altitude on the r photo. | ||
