Italy’s Stromboli Unleashes Lava Flow Into Sea

A volcano on the Italian island of Stromboli has erupted, unleashing a lava flow that has reached the sea.

The volcano, off the southern Italian coast near Sicily, erupted on Sunday local time.

The partial collapse of a crater terrace and lava flow triggered a three-minute seismic signal.

Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology video showed huge plumes of smoke as the lava ripped down the side of the volcano.

The Stromboli volcano is one of the most active on the planet and has been erupting almost continuously for the past 90 years.

No casualties or damage were reported in this most recent eruption.
