Mount Etna eruption sulphur dioxide

The Copernicus Sentinel-5P mission captured sulphur dioxide emissions from Mount Etna’s eruption on 2 June 2025, when a massive plume of ash, gas, and rock suddenly erupted from Europe’s largest active volcano. Mount Etna is one of the world’s most active volcanoes, but there hasn’t been an eruption of this magnitude since 2014, according to the national Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology Observatory.  

A capture from the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission offers an optical view of the same eruption.
