NASA's EO-1 Satellite Sees Volcan Copahue

Caption

Volcan Copahue, a stratovolcano on the border of Chile and Argentina in the Andes, was active during Oct. 2014. Several explosions occurred, along with emissions of steam and ash plumes. This natural-color satellite image shows a volcanic plume streaming southeast from the volcano on Oct. 21, 2014. The image was acquired by the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on Earth Observing-1. Copahue has produced several bouts of explosive activity since it became restless at the end of 2012.
