Changes in the Reventador volcano in the Ecuadorian Andes
Three-dimensional representation of the analysis of the changes to the Reventador volcano in the Ecuadorian Andes since 2000, based on images acquired by the German satellites TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X. The coloured areas show young lava fields and the growth of the volcano. A complete colour cycle corresponds to a 25-metre-thick layer of lava. There has been a rise of 75 metres at the peak of the volcano. The CEOS volcano project observes numerous active and currently dormant volcanoes in the Andes.
