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.

Fake news.
I prefer a calzone to a Stromboli. But that’s just my hunger talking.
Is this an all you can eat volcano?
Can I have mushrooms with that?
Pasta la vista, baby.
That can happen if you use spoiled peperoni!
calzone = Italian HotPocket!............
It’s an impasta!
.
Pepperoni also, please...
“calzone = Italian HotPocket!............”
But could it not be said that a HotPocket is a non-Italian calzone?
Having been stationed in Sicily and lived on the slope of Mt. Etna (and been to the very top of Mt Etna), I would love to see this eruption.
Sitting off shore, of course.
Leave the gun. Take the calzone. .....................
WAAAAAAAAYYYYYY offshore........................
Take either.
Flawed article. Stromboli has been in regular eruption since at least the early Romans. It was called the lighthouse of the Mediterranean as you could see it at night from many miles away.
I hope someone bought carbon credits for this eruption.
That volcano is not CO2 compliant!
Shut it down.
