After months of low-level seismic activity, Llaima Volcano in Chile erupted in early April 2009. It quieted briefly on April 6, 2009, but resumed intermittent activity over the next several days. The activity included venting from the summit on April 14, 2009. When the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA’s Earth Observing-1 satellite passed overhead on April 16, 2009, however, the volcano was surprisingly subdued. Clear skies afforded the sensor an unobstructed view of lava-layered landscape around the volcano. Tree-covered hills and ridgelines rise up out of a sea of hardened, charcoal-colored lava flows. Isolated patches of snow brighten the slopes near the summit.
