Lava spilling in Nyiragongos's crater

From time to time lava spilled over the rim of the active hornito in Nyiragongo's crater area in February 2020. The image was taken with a filter that blocks most of the visible light and thus enhances the contrast of the lava's thermal emission to ambient sunlight.
