Mount Etna volcanic activity

Overview

Mount Etna in Sicily experienced intense volcanic activity in early August 2026. During this period, a volcanic cloud containing sulfur dioxide (SO2) traveled across the Mediterranean Sea, reaching the North African coast near Tripoli, Libya. Researchers utilized Sentinel-5P satellite data to track the SO2 concentrations and map the trajectory of the emissions.

By late August, the Etna Observatory of the INGV raised the Vona aviation color code to orange due to an increase in energy recorded within magmatic conduits. While the volcano has produced weak emissions of volcanic ash from its summit craters dispersing toward the southeast, vulcanologists noted that seismic signals were consistent with limited surface phenomena rather than a rapid ascent of magma. Despite the heightened alert level, the Vincenzo Bellini International Airport in Catania has remained fully operational.
