Jabal al-Tayr YM - One More Time

Jabal al Tayr

Jabal al Tayr - ASTER Image

This image is the latest post on one of my favorite websites - EO Newsroom. This site is always good for informative and interesting images, typically accompanied by well-written articles. If you've never visited, visit - it is worth the time.

I am including this ASTER image of Jabal al-Tayr. It is a closeup of the volcano that erupted September 30th. The image used in my previous post, Jabal al-Tayr YM, was extracted from a circa 2000 Landsat mosaic. This one, at 15-meter resolution, is clearer than Landsat. Fortunately, my original map is still a high quality rendering of the island shoreline and it's contours.

Enjoy!
