A thick ash cloud was seen towering above Italy’s Stromboli volcano on December 5 as the eruption continued.

Footage recorded by Angelo Gitto shows emissions spiraling into the sky, as lava glows red.

According to the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), a lava overflow and intense explosive activity started from the north crater on Sunday before a larger explosion occurred from the central-southern crater area of the Sciara del Fuoco.

INGV said the volcanic events had no direct link with the magnitude 4.6 earthquake recorded earlier that morning near the island of Vulcano.
