Mount Etna, Italy, 3D artwork C015 / 6564
Mount Etna. Simulated 3D high-altitude panoramic view of Mount Etna, Italy, viewed from the south. Image based on Landsat satellite images and detailed digital terrain data. Etna is Europes most active volcano, shown here during the eruption of July 2001. Landsats thermal infrared channel has been used to show the extent of hot, fresh lava flows. Older flows show as dark areas on the volcanos flanks. Etna dominates the eastern end of the island of Sicily, and towers above the port of Catania (foreground centre). In the distance, a chain of islands includes the active volcanoes of Stromboli and Vulcano

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 3D artwork print captures the majestic beauty and power of Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano. Taken from a high-altitude panoramic view in July 2001, the image showcases the eruption of this iconic Italian landmark. Created using Landsat satellite images and detailed digital terrain data, it provides a realistic simulation of the volcanic activity. The thermal infrared channel of Landsat has been utilized to highlight the extent of hot, fresh lava flows emanating from Mount Etna during its eruption. The older flows are depicted as dark areas on the volcano's flanks, showcasing its rich geological history. Mount Etna dominates Sicily's eastern end and overlooks the bustling port city of Catania in the foreground center. In the distance, a chain of islands including Stromboli and Vulcano can be seen with their own active volcanoes. This aerial view offers a glimpse into both Italy's breathtaking coastal landscape and its volatile natural environment. The print serves as an homage to Mount Etna's significance in European geography and volcanology while highlighting its role as a powerful force shaping Sicilian history. Created by PLANETARY VISIONS LTD/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this extraordinary artwork is not only visually striking but also serves as an educational tool for those interested in physical geography and geology. It encapsulates both the beauty and danger that coexist within our planet's dynamic landscapes.
