Several vents near the summit of Mount Etna
emitted plumes of volcanic gases on March 31, 2013. This false-color
(near infrared, red, and green) satellite image was collected by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on the Terra
satellite. Volcanic plumes, clouds, and snow are white, while forests
are dark red, and fields are bright red. Fresh lava flows are black, and
older lava flows with more vegetation are progressively lighter and
redder. Towns, located at the foot of the volcano, are brown.
