In pictures: Stromboli blows its top

Italy's second-most active volcano, Stromboli, is continuing to spew ash, a day after an eruption that injured six people.

Tourists are banned from the island, also called Stromboli, which the volcano towers over.

Clouds of ash hang over the village of Stromboli, at the foot of the mountain

Monday's eruption blew the cone off the volcano and sent lava plunging into the Tyrrhenian Sea

The Italian navy has drawn up an evacuation plan for the island

A large wave created when the landslide hit the sea damaged some boats and houses

Stromboli's regular minor eruptions are a tourist attraction - this is the biggest even since 1985

The island lies between Naples and Sicily, home of Europe's most active volcano, Mount Etna

Etna has erupted more than once this year
