These images show Mount Ruapehu on the North Island of New Zealand and its summit lake, observed by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA’s Terra satellite. The first image is a simulated true-color image taken on January 12, 2001. The series of thermal infrared images show maps of the lake temperature over time, showing times of enhanced volcanism.
