Title:
Manam, Papau New Guinea
Description:
The island volcano of Manam released a volcanic plume of ash and/or steam on August 26, 2006. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite took this picture the same day. In this image, a dingy plume blows away from the volcano toward the northwest. Clouds often gather over peaks, and volcanoes are no exception; over Manam’s summit are opaque white clouds. To the west of the volcano is a brownish-green sediment plume pushing northward into the Bismarck Sea from mainland Papua New Guinea.
