SIR-C/X-SAR
Kliuchevskoi Volcano
Kamchatka, Russia
This multi-frequency, multi-polarized
false color composite of several active volcanoes in Kamchatka, Russia
was composed from three SIR-C/X-SAR images (LHH-red; LHV-green;
CHV-blue) acquired on October 5, 1994. Kliuchevskoi Volcano is
the blue triangular peak to the left of the large circular crater.
The bright red delineates an area of snow cover on bare ground. Two
other active volcanoes, Bezymianny (circular crater above and to the
right of Kliuchevskoi) and Tolbachik (a large volcano with a dark summit
near the upper right edge of the red snow covered area), are also visible.
Mudflows, triggered by the mixing of volcanic ash and melting snow,
are seen as thin lines in various shades of green and blue on the
flanks of Kliuchevskoi Volcano and several other volcanoes in this
region. This image and the majority of the interpretation are courtesy
of NASA/JPL.
