The aerosol plumes (mostly tiny droplets of sulphuric acid in the stratosphere, as well as some very fine ash particles) have been traveling along vast stretches in the northern hemisphere: the latest satellite data (see image attached) show plumes from the eruptions in the past 48 hours extending hundreds of miles over the Atlantic to the SE.
Earlier eruption plumes have been reaching Africa and the Middle East.
