What is or was the longest continuous eruption ever?

Dear Benny,
Some geologists have suggested that
Stromboli
in Italy has
been active for 5,000 years. They know with a higher degree of certainty
that Stromboli has been active nearly continuously for 2,000 years. This
long history of eruption is why Stromboli is refereed to as the
Lighthouse of the Mediterranean.
