Mount Etna Eruption Sends Ash Cloud to Greece

A fresh eruption from Mount Etna has sent a plume of volcanic ash and sulfur gases across the Aegean Sea to Greece.

The volcanic activity peaked on Tuesday morning, with the resulting cloud reaching altitudes of up to eight kilometres above sea level by the afternoon.

The National Observatory of Athens reported that the ash and gas mixture has spread over Attica and the northern Peloponnese. The observatory’s PANGEA Observatory on Antikythera island has been monitoring the situation, but the low-lying cloud has disrupted the lidar system's signal.

Despite the challenges, the Institute for Astronomy, Astrophysics, Space Applications, and Remote Sensing has an early warning system in place for volcanic ash and sulfur emissions. Using data analysis, they can provide forecasts to help mitigate potential impacts.

Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation and issue any necessary advisories.
