Bubbling lava lake of Nyiragongo
by Jonas Kuhn, Heidelberg, Germany
Huge amounts of gas escape the bubbling lava lake of Nyiragongo 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.
