Ash and Activity from Mayon

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this image of the area around Mayon Volcano in the Philippines on January 22, 2018. The image combines natural-color data with thermal infrared bands (7-2-1). The volcano has been spewing ash and rumbling with many tremors and earthquakes in its first eruption since 2014.
