English: Kilauea, the youngest and most active volcano on Hawaii's Big Island, is currently continuing to vent lava and gas in one of the most long-lived volcanic eruptive phases on record for any volcano. The present eruption began in 1983 on the eastern side of the volcano, primarily at the Pu'u 'O'o vent. On January 16, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Terra satellite flew over the Big Island and captured this true-color image. The image shows both the heat signature of the active volcanic vents and lava fields on the island, and also a broad band of vog spreading over the Pacific Ocean.
