Volcano blows smoke rings - Stromboli in eruption Jan 2019

One of Stromboli's active vents, a steep symmetrical cone in the NW crater area, produced a number of "smoke rings" on 20 Jan 2019. These ring vortexes form when pulsating gas / steam emissions pass through a perfectly circular vent, generating this rare phenomenon. Stromboli has been in an elevated state of activity since early January 2019, and there is plenty of evidence that magma is standing high inside its conduits.
