Villarrica is one of the most active volcanoes in Chile and one of the few permanently active volcanoes in the world, with frequent strombolian activity and sometimes a small lava lake in its summit crater.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Villarrica is one of the most active volcanoes in Chile and one of the few permanently active volcanoes in the world, with frequent strombolian activity and sometimes a small lava lake in its summit crater. On 25 September 2020, an explosive event of the Villarrica volcano has been observed: it generated a small column of ash that reached a height of over 500 metres above the crater level. This image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites a few hours (25/09/2020 - 14:53 UTC) before the start of this volcanic activity provides a cloud-free view of the crater and of the lava lake. The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission (Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B) play an important role in monitoring volcanic activity: the high spatial resolution and an average revisit time of five days to monitor different volcanic processes and improve hot-spot detection techniques.
