Red alarm level: volcanic eruption on Stromboli - Italian volcanic island in danger

increased vigilance on Stromboli: an island on alarm readiness

The residents and visitors to the Italian volcanic island of Stromboli are currently facing a threatening situation after the volcano of the same name has shown an increased seismic activity. The authorities have proclaimed the alarming red warning level and ask everyone to precisely follow the instructions of civil protection.

For days, the power boli, which is over 920 meters high, has spit large lava masses out of its crater, which flows down steeply into the sea. Dense smoke rises to heaven, while the residents and tourists on the island are concerned. Stromboli, one of the Lipari Islands, usually houses only a few hundred inhabitants who now have to take all safety -related measures.

The volcano is not only known for its active nature, but also appreciated by literature and film. In Jules Verne's classic "The journey to the center of the earth", the Stromboli plays a crucial role when the heroes of the novel get back to the surface by his crater. The director Roberto Rossellini used the picturesque backdrop of the volcano for his film "Stromboli", in which the legendary actress Ingrid Bergman took over the main role.

tourists are now strongly advised against visiting the island, while the authorities keep an eye on the situation. The safety of the population has top priority and experts are ready to react appropriately in the event of further increase in activities. The natural forces of the Stromboli are strongly reminiscent of the unpredictable beauty and danger that comes from active volcanoes.
