Halemaumau, Kilauea Hawaii
On January 18, ASTER captured this image of the continuing eruption of Kilauea volcano, Hawaii. Lava fountains in Halemaumau crater (top center of image) reached 50 m high, with a nearly vertical eruption plume. Winds carried the blue-gray plume to the south to the ocean. The TROPOMI satellite instrument detected this as a huge SO2 plume the day before. Vegetation is displayed in shades of red. The image covers an area of 38.7 by 45.8 km, and is located at 19.4 degrees north, 155.3 degrees west. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA26504
