An eruption began on March 2, 2024 at Fernandina Volcano, Galapagos. Lava was seen coming from a circumferential fissure on the upper SE flank, accompanied by high sulfur dioxide emissions. By April 13, when this color coded ASTER thermal image was acquired, an estimated 44 million cubic meters of lava had erupted, making this eruption the largest in the last 15 years. The image covers an area of 5.7 by 6.3 km, and is located at 0.4 degrees south, 91.6 degrees west. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA26326
