Summary[edit]

Description
English: This image, which shows the sulphur dioxide (SO₂) emitted by the ongoing volcanic eruption at the Fagradalsfjall mountain in Iceland, was constructed by overlaying data acquired on 3 May 2021 by the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite onto a Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite image of the region. Due to the absence of clouds in the area, measurements performed by instruments onboard the Sentinel-5P satellite have been able to provide data on the levels of SO₂ emitted during this new eruptive phase of Fagradalsfjall. The activity of this as-of-yet unnamed volcano has been evolving since late April 2021. The new eruptive fissures that have appeared recently have resulted in the development of intense lava fountains, reaching a height of more than 200 metres. Open data provided by Copernicus Sentinel satellites provide information indispensable to the monitoring of volcanoes globally.
