Etna in Sicily Remains Active

Since 6 August 2026, Mount Etna on Sicily has been in an intense phase of eruptive activity. The sulphur dioxide (SO₂) emitted from the volcano is being continuously monitored through the INPULS+ project using operationally processed measurements from the Sentinel-5 Precursor (S5P) satellite, evaluated at the Earth Observation Centre (EOC) to track the ongoing evolution of the volcanic emissions.
