Strombolian eruption

In 2022, Greek geologists Dimitris Kostopoulos and Panagiotis Pomonis initiated groundbreaking research to refine how volcanic explosivity is assessed.

Two fractures opened at the base of the South-East crater and on the north-eastern flank of the New South-East crater at about 3am local time (2am BST). The lava flows were accompanied by a Strombolian activity from the main craters. However nearby Catania airport remains open, reported express.co.uk.
