Didn't Stromboli's family own Al Sharpton's?

During the travels of Odysseus after the Trojan wars, he skirted these islands where mountains moved and Harpies sung!

Video of Stromboli & the lava flow at at RAI NEWS today. (Wed). Even if one is not able to understand the italian voiceover, the visuals from the helicopter cam are great.

Thank you for that mud flow update. I was looking for info on that yesterday to no avail.

They could put a giant rubber balloon down the hole and inflate it with concrete once they have the mud flow down to where they can insert something against the flow. Just an idea.

In the old days they
would sacrifice a virgin . . .
What am I saying?

They'd better stick with
the giant concrete balloons.
(They can buy concrete . . .)

Isn't this one of thee most active volcano's on Earth?<

It is my belief that the Tyrrhenian Sea is a mini ring of fire. Just looking at the shape of the western side of Italy and the corresponding islands leads me to believe there was an extra-catastrophic event in that region in pre-historic times. It looks a lot like the geography of Santorini (caldera) except on a larger scale.

You've got the Greats Vesuvio, Etna (Sicilia), Stromboli, and another 14 or so volcanoes throughout the region to support this hypothesis. I heard some buzz about Vesuvio yesterday, but could only find recent articles about scientific speculation.
