Mt Etna in Sicily, Italy, is the largest and most active volcano in Europe. Its frequent eruptions are often accompanied by large lava flows, but rarely pose a threat to inhabited areas.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Mt Etna in Sicily, Italy, is the largest and most active volcano in Europe. Its frequent eruptions are often accompanied by large lava flows, but rarely pose a threat to inhabited areas. In August 2020 strombolian summit activity and sporadic ash emissions were observed. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 4 September 2020, shows the summit of Etna volcano at which hotspots (red/yellows areas) within the craters as well as a small plume from the southern craters are visible. The Copernicus Sentinel-2 constellation (Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B) plays an important role in volcanic activity monitoring thanks to the Short Wave InfraRed channels of the Multispectral Instrument carried by these two satellites. The high spatial resolution and an average revisit time of five days allow them to monitor different volcanic processes and improve hot-spot detection techniques.
