Summary

[edit]
Description
English: On 21 December 2020, an eruption started at the Kilauea Volcano in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (USA) after two years of dormancy. Lava is cascading into the summit crater forming a new lava lake visible in this image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 23 December 2020. The eruption is still ongoing and on 25 December the depth of the Halema‘uma‘u crater lava lake reached ~160m. The Copernicus Sentinel-2 constellation (Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B) plays an important role in volcanic activity monitoring: the high spatial resolution and an average revisit time of five days allow them to monitor different volcanic processes and improve hot-spot detection techniques.
