Default Etna vs Stromboli??

My wife and I want to go somewhere to see flowing lava. We are living in
Germany, and so hawaii is not an option right now. Does Etna or Stromboli
have a constant flow to the water?

thanks,

brian

Dont believe so, both are pretty active but I think only Kilauea
in Hawaai is so reliable and accessible that you can plan
a holiday to see an eruption. I believe Etna is pretty quiet
right now. As I recall typical eruptions at both Stromboli and Etna
involve gas explosions that throw debris in the air rather
than the production of large amounts of lava you see
in Hawaii.

Your best bet nearby is probably Iceland where even if there are
no active eruptions there are some active geyser fields
and lots of evidence of vulcanism

Stromboli has a constant flow.
Etna has stronger flow but not constant.
