Volcanic activity in Mt Michael in the S. Atlantic , a rather long #volcanotrack suggests that such activity has been going on for many hours.

Nighttime image from GOES confirms the activity too.

Actually there was a nice #Landsat overpass .

The standard RGB shows no obvious plume coming from the #volcano at the time of the overpass, and nothing obvious in the more general view .

But when looking at the NIR composite, there is a distinctive track of brighter clouds
(#volcanotrack) which is a telltale of clouds contaminated by the volcano.

This coincides with the similar picture taken by the #MODIS
sensor, which has coarser resolution.
