Three views of Eruption of an explosive eruption of the Tungurahua volcano in Ecuador at 11:51 UTC on 14 July 2013. Animations depicting the volcanic cloud evolution are shown using GOES-12 0.65 µm visible channel, 6.5 µm water vapor channel, and 10.7 µm "IR window" channel images. Since a large amount of water vapor is usually exhaled during such explosive eruptions, the extent of the volcanic cloud can be more easily followed on the water vapor channel images. 12 seconds; black & white; silent.
