The last tsunami that occured on December 31st 2002 at Stromboli was caused by an UNDERSEA collapse of the Sciara del Fuoco. The current superficial rockfalls and minor collapses cannot cause a tsunami. However, the constant accumulation of material on the slope may contribute to destabilizing this flank of the volcano and cause it to collapse undersea.
