Stromboli's central vent continues to glow and throw out spatter, while the E vent of the NE crater is erupting weakly every 30-40 minutes. Even more rarely, the NW crater erupts with very small explosions (r. picture). Note the moonshadow casted by Pizzo over the craters and the sea (above l. and m. pictures).
