Satellite view of vog and ash from the Ambrym Volcano
March 28, 2011 - The Ambrym Volcano was billowing vog and ash. Vog is formed when sulfur dioxide and other gases from an erupting volcano reacts with sunlight, oxygen and moisture. It is a mix of gases and aerosols. When smog levels are high the sky appears yellowish grey because nitrogen oxides are yellow. In contrast, sulfur oxides are colorless and vog looks gray. Located on Ambrym Island in Vanuatu approximately 2, 200 kilometers northeast of Australia, the volcano is one of the regionas most active, with regular eruptions nearly every year in recent history

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a satellite view of the vog and ash emanating from the Ambrym Volcano on March 28,2011. The Ambrym Volcano is renowned for billowing vog, which forms when sulfur dioxide and other volcanic gases react with sunlight, oxygen, and moisture. Vog consists of a mixture of gases and aerosols that can create an eerie grayish hue in the sky. In contrast to nitrogen oxides that give smog its yellow color, sulfur oxides are colorless, resulting in the distinct gray appearance of vog. Located on Ambrym Island in Vanuatu, approximately 2,200 kilometers northeast of Australia, this volcano stands as one of the most active in the region. Its regular eruptions have been recorded throughout recent history. The photograph showcases an expansive view from space without any human presence. The image portrays ash plumes rising from the volcano's crater into the atmosphere while drifting over the vast Pacific Ocean. The haze created by volcanic activity engulfs this island nation known for its natural beauty. Stocktrek Images has skillfully captured this momentous scene through their lens - an awe-inspiring testament to Earth's powerful forces at work. This remarkable print serves as a reminder of nature's grandeur and our planet's ever-changing landscape.
