Buenas tardes… el Stromboli ha entrado en erupción. El Stromboli es un volcán de los más activos de Europa. Está en la isla de su mismo nombre y pertenece al archipiélago de las Eolias.
Hasta aquí todo fenomenal sino fuera porque tenía previsto estar el 13 de julio allí camino de Grecia y previo paso por el estrecho de Messina.
Este es el extracto de la noticia aparecida hoy:
A volcano on the Italian island of Stromboli has erupted, throwing ash high into the sky and enveloping the popular tourist destination in smoke, the National Institute of Geophysics and Vulcanology (INGV) said.
Rescue services said Wednesday’s eruption on Mount Stromboli had started fires on the western side of the small Mediterranean island north of Sicily. Fire crews were being called in from nearby locations and a Canadair firefighting plane was already in action. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Michela Favorito, who works in a hotel near Ficogrande, on the east side of the island, said: “We saw the explosion from the hotel. There was a loud roar.
“We plugged our ears and after this a cloud of ash swept over us. The whole sky is full of ash, a fairly large cloud,” she said.
Tourists often climb to the 924-metre (3,000ft) summit of the volcano and peer into its crater, from which small lumps of molten rock are regularly blasted into the sky. It was not clear if anyone was near the crater at the time of the blast.
According to geology.com, Stromboli is one of the most active volcanoes on the planet and has been erupting almost continuously.
Fiona Carter, a British tourist on the island of Panarea, 17 miles (27km) from Stromboli, said she heard the blast.
“We turned around to see a mushroom cloud coming from Stromboli. Everyone was in shock. Then red hot lava started running down the mountain towards the little village of Ginostra,” she said.
“The cloud got bigger, white and grey. It enveloped Ginostra and now the cloud has covered Stromboli entirely. Several boats set off for Stromboli.”
Stefano Branca, an INGV expert, said there had been a “paroxysmal eruption” on the island, which happens when high-pressure magma explodes from a shallow underground reservoir. “These are events of great intensity and quite rare,” he said.
The island was the setting for the 1950 movie Stromboli starring Ingrid Bergman and, with other islands in the Aeolian archipelago, has become a favourite location for holiday homes for the rich and famous.
Veremos cómo evolucionan las noticias para tomar una decisión. Alerta de tsunami se ha dado para Italia. 🤞
