Ubinas Volcano, Peru
NASA's Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) collected this false-color view of the area around Ubinas Volcano on April 28, 2014, when it erupted an ash plume. Red in the image indicates vegetation. Located in the Andes, Ubinas is considered the most active volcano in Peru, with intermittent small to moderate eruptions recorded since 1550. It had been showing signs of an impending eruption since mid-2013, highlighted by the appearance of a fresh lava dome in March 2014. Explosive activity began in mid-April, sending an ash cloud at least 4,000 meters (13,000 feet) into the air. Smaller explosions persisted through the following months.
