 Stromboli and its two new lava flows seen from a great distance. Stromboli's summit is hidden by clouds (GB). |  As the boat approaches the island, the steam plume caused by lava entering the sea hides the lava flow more and more (GB). |  As the houses of San Bartolo come into view (left) the sun rises. The vent erupting the lava is clearly visible (GB). |  A strong westerly wind carries the steam accross the lower slopes of the cone. Lower centre: buildings at Punta di Labronzo (GB). |  The eruption in the evening of 5.3.2007 from the ferry to Naples (SB). |
