Hala says
A volcano in near-continuous activity, in persistent strombolian activity. The hike up to 400 m (the Sciara del Fuoco viewpoint, where the lava streams visibly down the north slope into the sea) is the standard climb: leave around 4 p.m., reach it at sunset, watch the eruptions in the dark, headlamps for the descent. The summit is off-limits: free ascent stops at 290 m, and 400 m with an authorised guide. The Sentiero Natura is closed. Confirm with a Stromboli-based guide on arrival.
