Villarrica Volcano Activity: A Satellite Perspective from 2015

The first two images acquired by the Landsat 8 satellite on February 22nd and March 10th 2015, depict the volcanic activity of Villarrica during the month of March. The comparison illustrates the lava flow along the slopes of the vulcano (large gray area near the crater). The third image was acquired by the Sentinel-1 satellite on February 20th and March 4th 2015. It shows Villarrica Volcano using a merge of two radar images. Villarrica Volcano is considered one of Chile's most active volcanoes, approximately 750 kilometre (470 miles) south of Santiago.
