31 December 2002: lava flow on the Sciara del Fuoco |
6 January: boat trip to the Sciara del Fuoco |
Where the lava flow enters the sea, a water is boiled and a huge steam cloud rises above the entry point. |
Wide-angle view of the Sciara del Fuoco from the boat. The landslide scars are well visible left of the recent lava, all together ca. 200 m wide lava delta. The steam plume markes the active flow front at the waterline. |
Left of the active flow front, an earlier, now inactive tongue is visible. Hot rocks falling off the active flow further above and cool at the waterline. |
Falling debris impacts on the water few meters from the shoreline making spectacular splashes. |
