NASA Satellite detects Kilauea Fissures


ASTER image acquired May 6 picks up hotspots on the thermal infrared bands - shown in yellow. These hotspots are newly formed fissures and lava flows.

The eruption of Kilauea Volcano on the island of Hawaii
triggered a number of gas- and lava-oozing fissures in the East Riff Zone of
the volcano.
