An astronaut on the International Space Station recently captured a stunning view of the famous volcanoes Mount Etna and Vesuvius all the way from orbit.
Sophie Adenot, a French astronaut with the European Space Agency, became the latest spacefarer aboard the iconic orbital outpost to put her astral photography skills to the test. In a series of photos, Adenot documented two of Europe’s active and most dangerous volcanoes, including Vesuvius – infamously responsible for burying Pompeii in ash more than 1,900 years ago.
When the astronauts on the ISS flew overheard, Vesuvius – which has not erupted since 1944 – appeared serene, while Etna was seen quietly spewing hot gases and vapors.
