Story:Stromboli blows stack, tourists into sea - English - ANSA.it

Just googling the location--I hate to admit it was the first time I'd ever heard of it. Thanks for the links, heti.

Lol. I only vaguely knew where it was TDudette. :)
It is suppoosed to be beautiful, when not throwing hot rocks and lava and folks.

It erupts all the time. Its Europes most active volcano. Pretty impressive at night seen at night om a boat tour.

Oh excuse me! Yes this was a major eruption!

BBC is reporting one dead.

Whoa! The noises are amazing!

In September we were rounding the tip of Italy via Azamara on our way to port at Sorrento, and Captain announced that we'd be passing Stromboli at approximately 11 p.m. He couldn't promise what we'd see, but as we were out on deck that night, we saw red volcanic outlines. Before that announcement, never knew of such an island!! Only known to us as a type of pizza-cousin-sandwich!
