Odds & Ends: Batu Tara Volcano Emits a Wispy Plume

June 26th, 2012 by Robert Simmon

Active since 2006, Batu Tara continues to puff away. A thin volcanic plume streams northwest from the cloud-shrouded volcano. The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) aboard the Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite collected this natural-color image on June 21, 2012.
