Early on Sunday morning, a volcano on the Italian island of Stromboli erupted, releasing huge plumes of smoke and a lava flow pouring into the sea. Less than five hours after the eruption, the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission captured this satellite image of the aftermath.

The eruption caused the partial collapse of the crater terrace. This was followed by major flows of lava stretching to the sea and immense plumes of smoke rising several hundred meters above the volcano. Italian civil protection authorities raised the alert from yellow to orange as the ‘situation of enhanced volcano imbalance persists.’

This Sentinel-2 image (above) has been processed in true color, using the shortwave infrared channel to highlight the new flow of lava. Sentinel-2 is based on a constellation of two identical satellites, each carrying an innovative wide swath high-resolution multispectral imager with 13 spectral bands for monitoring changes in Earth’s land and vegetation.

Stromboli is an island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, off the north coast of Sicily. It contains Mount Stromboli, one of the four active volcanoes in Italy.

The northernmost island of the Aeolian archipelago, located just off the northern tip of Sicily, Stromboli’s volcano has been erupting almost continuously for the past 90 years.

The ritual sacrifices weren't made. And THIS is what happens.

[Nifster]

That’s usually what happens if I eat a Stromboli

[rrrod]

Dang, I was thinking about ordering a Stromboli...

[PLMerite]

That was the weirdest movie.

“Me? The virgin?”

“We make do with what we have.”

Thanks Red Badger. Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble.

I prefer a calzone to a Stromboli. But that’s just my hunger talking.

It depends on what's in the Stromboli, and how it's prepared. I love good ricotta, though.

Will our Lord and Master biden be able to save us? Let us pray to him./s

‘Take the gun; leave the Stromboli.’ ;)

[M Kehoe]

I ate a Stromboli one time.

It gave me gas.

But not as explosive as kimchi and beer.

Jill Biden says she feels for the Italians. They are each like a breakfast stromboli.

[Larry Lucido]

Ah, here we go. A breakfast stromboli!

[rlmorel]

LOL!

All this talk of Stromboli...

[Billthedrill]

Yeah, and this close to lunchtime? This...this was no accident...

[rlmorel]

Hahahahahahaha

Us conservatives are prowling around constantly muttering “This was no accident!”

Or at least, I am!

I have an odd, uncommanded desire now for Stromboli.

Bye.

[cornfedcowboy]

I absolutely love a Stromboli sandwich.

[citizen]

That looks good! I’m a film noir buff. These movies from the same period.

The article states there are 4 active volcanoes in Italy. Stromboli, Etna, Vesuvius, what is the 4th?
