#PPOD: Etna from ISS
Etna is a stratovolcano in Sicily, Italy, that has erupted intermittently for hundreds of thousands of years. Eruptions have been documented as early as 1500 BCE. In February 2022, while onboard the International Space Station, ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer captured this image of a plume of smoke wafting from the peak. The volcano was still erupting as recently as November 2024.
