Here’s Looking @ Earth. Five Flinging Lava (Imagery—NASA)
[SatNews] There are currently five erupting volcanoes on the Kamchatkan Peninsula: Shiveluch, Bezymianny, Tolbachik, Kizimen, and Karymsky. NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Terra satellite captured four of them (Shiveluch, Tolbachik, Kizimen, and Bezymianny) in this natural-color image on July 1, 2013. MODIS detected the heat signatures (red outlines) of the lava domes on Shiveluch and Kizimen, and the spreading lava flows emanating from Tolbachik. The activity at Bezymianny was imperceptible from 705 kilometers (438 miles) above.
