Many people consider Kilauea to be the most actively errupting volcano, but, many people are wrong. There's only one other volcano that errupts more than this magnificently terrifying volcano...Stromboli. Athough its name is not a very intimidating one, Stromboli volcano is considered to be the most dangerous due to its frequency. Stationed in Italy, Stromboli volcano has errupted continuously for 2,000 years.A typical eruption at Stromboli consists of several small gas explosions each hour, ejecting incandescent cinder, lapilli, and bombs to heights of a few tens or hundreds of feet. Tephra is glowing red when it leaves the vent but becomes black and nearly solid before hitting the ground. Lava is known to occasionally flow, but are less fluid, slower, and thicker than hawaiin lava. Although volcanos are dangerous, its beautiful color is what attracts tourists year round.
