Nasa reports New round of volcanic emissions from the Ecuador’s most active volcano
The most active volcano in Ecuador experienced another round of explosions, gas emissions, and volcanic tremors in November.
The Sangay volcano, which is steep-sided and glacier-covered, also emitted ash in the beginning of the month.
On a day when the volcanic plume was particularly straight due to southeasterly winds, the Landsat 8 satellite captured this image despite some afternoon cloud cover. The natural-color image was acquired by the satellite’s Operational Land Imager (OLI) on November 5, 2022. The second image is a closer view of the eruption column.

Plumes generally rose to a height of 1.8 kilometers (1.2 miles) during that period, though they also reported one plume being lofted as high as 8.3 kilometers on November 4, 2022.
