From June 30th to the end of September, the INGV Info Points on the islands of Vulcano and Stromboli are ready to welcome visitors with a multidisciplinary and interactive informative and educational offer
The next Monday 30 June, in the presence of President of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), Fabio Florindo, and local authorities, the event will be held Opening of the Institute's Info Points in Stromboli and Vulcano, which every summer welcome visitors, tourists, enthusiasts and the curious on itineraries to discover the volcanic Aeolian lands.
For over twenty years, the two Info Points, already known as the INGV Information Center of Stromboli and the INGV Information Center “Marcello Carapezza” of Vulcano, have been the reference points for information and scientific dissemination created by INGV in collaboration with the National Department of Civil Protection (DPC).
During the summer period, when the influx of tourists and residents is greater, researchers and technologists from the INGV, in collaboration with students from Italian universities, welcome visitors to the Centres to illustrate the characteristics of Aeolian volcanism and the risks associated with it, with a more multidisciplinary e Interactive to scientific dissemination.
Not only panels and informative videos on the geology of the islands and on the geophysical and geochemical surveillance activities of the Aeolian arch, coordinated by INGV Aeolian Monitoring Center (CME), but also dynamic monitors through which you can experience first-hand and in real time the monitoring activities of the active volcanoes of the Aeolian Islands.
Like last year, it will also be possible take a flight on Stromboli with the INGV virtual helicopter.
An integrated system that the Institute makes available for a better understanding of its activities and that offers useful information on prevention actions against volcanic dangers and natural risks.
Good civil protection practices are also presented in the Centers by the DPC, with the brochure and infographics by “I don't take risks - Stromboli and Vulcano”.
The Info Points of Stromboli and Vulcano are open free of charge every day of the week, from 10:00 to 13:00 and, in the afternoon, from 17:00 to 20:00, and will remain open at least until September 30th.
