Explosion inside the condensed emisssions of Nyiragongo

by Jonas Kuhn, Heidelberg, Germany

Explosion of the active hornito inside the steam-filled crater area of Nyiragongo volcano 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.
