Bagana and its plume of gas/ash seen from Terra satellite today (NASA)

MODIS thermal signal from Bagana volcano (MIROVA)
The latest Terra satellite image shows a narrow plume of mostly gas and possible light ash content extending about 70 km to the west of Bougainville Island.
A moderate thermal hot spot is visible on MODIS data and has increased recently. This suggests that the volcano's activity (effusive or mildly explosive or both) has picked up recently.
