NASA has released two stunning satellite images - among the first detailed pictures of the erupting vent and lava flows. They were acquired by the Advanced Land Imager aboard the Earth Observing-1 satellite on June 24, 2011. Since it began erupting on June 12, 2011, emissions from Eritrea's Nabro Volcano have drifted over much of East Africa and the Middle East. Satellite remote sensing is currently the only reliable way to monitor the ongoing eruption. The bright red portions of the false-color image (top) indicate hot surfaces. Hot volcanic ash glows above the vent, located in the center of Nabro's caldera. To the west of the vent, portions of an active lava flow (particularly the front of the flow) are also hot.
