Summary
[edit]DescriptionAsh from Etna volcano disperses in the Mediterranean Sea.jpg |
English: During the night between 13 and 14 August 2023, the Etna volcano erupted, featuring scenic lava fountains. Within this paroxysm, the Southeast Crater emitted an ash plume, which dispersed in a southerly direction. As shown in this image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites at 09:23 UTC, less than 8 hours after the beginning of the eruption, the ash reached the centre of the Mediterranean Sea and travelled 300 km southeast of Malta. The Copernicus Sentinel satellites facilitate the surveillance of volcanoes worldwide, proving particularly adapted to monitoring volcanoes situated in remote regions. |
