Unusual eruptions

16.-17. August 1996

In the SW-Crater the increasing activity ended on 16-17 August with a small lava flow that proceeded for only a few metres inside the crater. In the evening of 18 August the flow had already stopped. Only four red incandescent holes in a small cone were visible, but no more strombolian activity at this vent. Source: Volcano guide Nino Zerilli.
