On Sunday, March 8, 2020, news circulated online of a supposed resumption of eruptive activity at Stromboli. In relation to this rumor, theIstituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia He specifies that the Stromboli volcano is characterized by persistent eruptive activity, which has never stopped and therefore cannot have restarted.
The monitoring and surveillance networks and systems of theIstituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) have not highlighted any anomalous eruptive events in the last few hours compared to the ordinary Strombolian activity observed in recent weeks.
In particular, it is denied that a new eruptive phase of the Stromboli volcano similar to the events of summer 2019 has occurred, or is in progress. Any articles referring to a resumption of eruptive activity, especially if accompanied by photos of eruptions unusually large ones turn out to be misleading and suitable for causing alarms that are not justified by the current real situation".
INGV continues to monitor the behavior of the volcano with the utmost attention. Please note that the INGV surveillance bulletins of Stromboli are available at the links: http://www.ct.ingv.it/index.php/monitoraggio-e-sorveglianza/prodotti-del-monitoraggio/bollettini-settimanali-multidisciplinari.
