This animation uses data from the MTG-Sounder satellite’s Infrared Sounder instrument. It tracks the eruption of Ethiopia's Hayli Gubbi volcano on 23 November 2025.
The background imagery shows surface temperature changes while infrared channels highlight the developing ash plume. The satellite's timely observations enable tracking of the evolving ash plume over time.
Credits: Data processed in collaboration with industrial partners Thales and OHB, under the supervision of Eumetsat and ESA. Animation produced by Eumetsat.
